Isn't it lovely?

71% now thanks to my new 'add-on' - a Behind the Scenes print from making the work, walking the 1000km in the cold, wet, windy, grey, wonderful landscape.

This sheep from Consiton is proving very popular!
I need to give her a name.
Perhaps local, @deborahparkin.bsky.social can help out with ideas?
