Fair Isle Postcard #37: A Break In the Rain to Shear Some Sheep

Summer has so far been rather winter-y, but Rachel has begun shearing when the sun has made an appearance, and there's another new lamb who Sparky would love to make friends with. As always, Rachel shows her love for the land and the sheep with this month's view at life on Fair Isle.

So admire you Rachel for the way you live. It can't always be easy to contend with the elements, and island life, but your vlogs give a feeling of peacefulness and quiet that modern life doesn't always have. Love seeing how you and the animals are getting on.

I love your postcards so much. Hope you get warmer and sunnier days before the cold is there to stay. Can’t get over the lovely names of your cuties!

My 12 year old son and I just love your videos. And especially your Sheep names. Mini Milk is our fave 😍 🐑😍

Thanks for sharing. Nice to see what you do with the fleece.

Thank you for your lovely vlog. That weather this summer has been very poor even down in Central Scotland. Hope the Autumn cheers things up. I always enjoy seeing Fair Isle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It has been terrible weather for clipping , thankfully now I only have one pet sheep to do . With hand clipping at least you can leave some fleece on to keep them warm. Xx All the best x

Thanks for the update. Quite challenging trying to get things done when the weather doesn't cooperate. I do hope the weather in August was kinder and you were able to accomplish the things that needed to get done.

I wish the weather is a bit better for Rachel out of her Island while she is doing research for her book. I wish her lots of sunshine !!!
