They were all having a snooze in the sunshine. It was a lovely morning. The two […]
Pepper’s Morning | My Shetland
This morning I had to take the buckets to the horses. They couldn’t be bothered to wait at the gate close by. So, off I trudged along with my trusty companion, Pepper. The sheep, already fed, were ignoring us and trying to slip past the horses to go into the hill without being noticed. They […]
