I had a very lovely parcel through the post the other day; a chocolate box full of sheep. Six sheep packed snugly, clearly labeled. They were knitted by EH from Exeter using fleece from around Devon and Cornwall spun into yarn using a drop spindle. The breeds are Devon Closewool (Mid Devon), Manx Loaghtan (South Devon), and Hebridean (East Cornwall). The only thing missing were the chocs; wonder where they went.
