I’m finally in Hull - 5 hours straight up.

It was hot and sunny in Eastbourne - shorts & T-shirt. As we got further North, it rained and it’s cold. I already miss the sun!

I praised yesterday's rain. Though we still have to hope - it wasn't enough for really good sheep food...

Is the “sheep food” just luscious green grass or does the rain help in some other way?

Yes, luscious green grass and other herbs (dandelion, yarrow...). And what is also not unimportant: the rain has washed the dust off the plants.

What do you do when there’s no rain? Or do your sheep just have to eat dried food?

Good question... It could actually become a problem. First and foremost they get hay (there's enough of it to buy, last year the harvest was good), but my pets don't like that in summer and I also have to buy the hay and have it delivered.
The six bucks are currently wandering from one neighbouring farmer's meadow to the next. For a few days and only six animals, most of them even appreciate it. I have to bring them in the morning and pick them up in the evening.
I may even have found a meadow for the girls that won't be worked this year. For a few days... Then our meadow can recover a little until it rains and the animals won't keep moaning... ;-)

Goodness, you’re lucky to have so many fields that your herd can munch on… so many mouths to feed.
