Slowing down post Christmas-chaos and walking past my wool basket the other day, I realised just how many sheep and wool lessons were learnt in 2022 - spinning, shearing and wool dyeing, by attendance on both Natural Wool Dyeing and Design and Dye Workshops, were a few of the most notable experiences.

It’s All About Ewe…🎵
...and I'm not talking about the song! Coming up for three years ago, I was incredibly fortunate enough to take on the ownership of two lovely (albeit very stampy at the time!) Romney wethers - a literal almost lifelong dream come true, and they have taken me on a journey as a shepherdess-in-training ever since...*… Continue reading It’s All About Ewe…🎵

My Journey From horsesandcake To ratherbewearingwellies
Having been notified to writing my 50th post at the beginning of the year (one of those happy coincedences that I like), I thought it might be a good idea to go back to the beginning and explain how I started blogging, and how I've ended up at Rather Be Wearing Wellies.
