As part of Royston's birthday weekend we headed north to Sheepworld - a great excuse to behave like children! The farm area provides plenty of opportunities to feed the various animals.

As well as the obvious sheep, there were also donkeys, miniature horses, pigs and this rather hairy goat.

We then went to watch the sheep show, which firstly involved a brief history of the different breeds of sheep, followed by the sheep dogs rounding up the sheep into a pen.

This was then followed by a demonstration of sheep shearing.
