Hi Chech You met the romneys. Our group are suffolk - black face and legs and the lambs are all blacks(haha) when born and theIr bodies go white as they and their fur (granddaughters word for wool) grow. Most sheep in NZ are romney or merino in the south island so suffolk are only found in small numbers. One of the suffolk had triplets a few weeks ago and its fun watching them grow and play.

LOL. As you can guess, we have no sheep here. These guys were way up on the north island not far from Cape Reinga. We did the drive up the beach that morning, visited the cape and on our way back, they blocked the only road out. But it wasn't too baaaaaaaaaaad. They moved on after about 10 minutes.

"LOL. As you can guess, we have no sheep here. "Well we've got 79 million sheep here in Australia, Chech. So if you wanted to take any home with you, we wouldn't miss them. With that many sheep, you can choose whichever one you feel particularly attached to.

Yup. I've been working through all my tales...putting them up like the Greece one, so it will follow. At this point, I'll probably get to it after I get back from Panama. Then again....I have 8 hours to burn in the Bogota airport... I look forward to reading it once you get it posted. Have fun in Panama. I hope to go there someday too.
