Spent a lovely day at Blackstone Edge Farm in the Staffordshire Moorlands/Derbyshire borders. We were welcomed by Mr and Mrs Waller who also kindly provided cakes and refreshments.
The highlight of the day was being able to see the sheep sheared and then being able to select fleece directly from the sheep. I bought several fleeces - a Zwartbles fleece and two Derbyshire Gritstone fleeces (which I have the intention of trying out for the Mountain and Hill section of the certificate of achievement).
