We’ve had a bit of rain lately which has slowed the shearing down. When the sheep are too wet they can’t be shorn. That didn’t stop the kids from having fun though. They were trying to catch a lamb…but the lamb won.
Alizay didn’t want to miss out on the fun
On the Monday night before ANZAC day it rained all night. Stafford was meant to go to another shed on the Tuesday but we had to wait a whole day and night for the roads to dry out a bit before we left. On Wednesday morning when we finally left there was still a lot of very muddy road to navigate before we got back onto the sealed road. We were slipping and sliding all over the place in our Landcruiser and even spun off the road at one stage. Stafford pretended he was in control but really, HE WASN’T. It was scary but fun too. We would’ve had some great footage on the dash cam but for some reason it reformatted itself…arghhhhh…so disappointed. If I had been on my game I would’ve taken heaps of photo’s but I had been sick the day before and I wasn’t prepared. Yes we had this 24 hour bug going around the team since we were at Waka. Every couple of days someone new would get the bug…blahhhh…and lucky me had a turn of it!
