May 2005
Hello there. Just an update on what's been happening here. Charles the goat. He was a reject (free) from a place nearby. He is very friendly and his fleece is really nice - I can't wait for spring when we shear him. He's not too keen on Max dog, but I think that is more fun than anything. After all, Max is very "in your face" and Charles is just telling her that he doesn't appreciate it.

We have a stud male now called Lord. Lordy is so easy to handle, and has settled in with the younger boys without any problems. He has had his way with a couple of the girls already. He is light fawn in colour - the fleece is dense, soft and has a good crimp. Lord is the father of the baby in the first post......the little white girl called Zoe. (You have to look in the Archived ones at the bottom of the page. December..from memory)

The next babies are due at the end of June. Of course we are hoping for girls.
I've been spinning some Lord fleece and some cashmere which is just unbelievably soft. Weaving has been fun......so much so, the garden is very weedy! Next projects..........gees, I dunno. Think of something for me....eh?
