Sheep shearing 2013

Sheep shearing time again - a little later than usual due to the bad weather- taking place in the field at the back of our house. I know the farmers quite well and this is the second time I've taken photos of Dave the sheep shearer. They're used to me now hovering around with my camera and don't mind at all. I did take them all some ice creams later as a thank you, and because it was very warm hard work - they deserved them!
