Simon Simon We had the annual shearing or clipping of our sheep yesterday. The team, led by Simon, sheared 372 ewes, wrapped and packed all the fleeces in less than 300 minutes. It was an impressive performance.

Amat Wood, photogravure I bought this yellow paper in London some months ago ... before lockdown ... and have been waiting for the right opportunity to use it. I am very happy with the way it works on this large photogravure of Amat Woods.

Lenticular clouds We had an unusual cloud formation over Croick last night, that I had to look up. Apparently these are lenticular clouds and are believed to be a common explanation for supposed sightings of UFOs. They certainly have that sort of appearance.
