Alison O’Neill ~ Shepherdess

Home. Today is a Fell day. I'm up on my beloved Howgill's treading a familiar path. My company is that of Shadow, sheep and swifts that whirl then twirl about the folds of gentle fells. Warm winds blow that tangle hair. Saturday a day for solitude and silence. @NFUCountryside 🐑

Shepherdess .. a beautiful busy day ☀️🙏🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

@ElizabethMistry Thank you 🙏

Walking with and talking to @woolismybread - and her canine friend - is a unique and life-enhancing experience. For those who aren’t able to walk - or who just fancy some rollicking storytelling, Alison’s lecture on May 30th is highly recommended. #SwaledaleFestival #SwaleFest
