Good weekend!
We went to a party tonight! With grownups! I don’t think they ever realized we were imposters.
Our neighbors being sheep farmers, that was naturally where the conversation went. These days, they’re getting £90 for spent ewes (ewes past lamb-bearing age). That’s very good.
They’re getting next to nothing for the wool, though. That’s a real shame. Wool is naturally flame-resistant and makes excellent house insulation, apparently. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a push to use it. It seems eco perfect.
And with that, the weasel wandered off in search of gin…

If you insulated your house with wool, wouldn’t you always have to be on the lookout for moths?

Sandra Brock in Canuckistan has a sheep ranch and sells wool and products on her web site:

Incidentally, she and her husband are visiting England and Scotland. I hope they get to see Jeremy Clarkson, but I suspect they will not do so.
