When we are 'loitering with intent' up norf, between housesits, we have the pleasure of hanging out with Stephen and Louise (James's sister) at their small holding in Drybeck, Cumbria. And what a joy it always is.
They usually take the opportunity to have some time away if we are around for long enough to take care of the farm and animals. We love helping out around the farm. This time we went to buy some sheep that Louise had found on FB as well as trotting out to the livestock market at Carlise.
