    Great shot Marilyn. According to my cousin ( he lives in the Lakes) prior to 1700 the sheep were called Erdwyck so we named our gorgeous stuffed, door stop sheep, ’ Erdwyck.’ Not a real one but a great fluffy one who actually bleats when you squeeze his ear….lol !

  • Thanks so much Roy! My brother in the UK has a cat door stop called Colin. lol!! How cute would a fluffy sheep be! :o)
