Herding in Langdale
Hugh & Nell ventured into unknown territory today - a visit to Langdale in the Lakes where the WBCS were holding their annual Shepherd's Meet. They met up with Jacky G, Mirk & Diva for a good days herding. Nell pleased Hugh by adapting well to the strange venue & sheep - herwicks, & by doing some good work. Her speed & commitment were met with approval by the onlookers eliciting the comment ' I'd take her home!'
Interestingly of the four Beardies who 'had a go' three were KC registered!! Attending but not taking part were Barry Bray's Bramble & our Bess's half sister B Balmy Breeze ( sister to the famous Robbie!)
Nell keeping off the sheep well - thanks to Nij's ultimate deterent - orange bags!!
