Almost set for the start of the Royal Manx Show tomorrow. Tomorrow we’ll fill the baskets with delicious charcuterie including our 3star Manx Loaghtan chorizo and both our 2star products Manx Loaghtan Salami & Manx (pork) chorizo and lots more…sausages & burgers #RoyalManx

A short panoramic view around the Manx food tent as we all get ready, we’re next to Isle of Man Creamery - very fitting as cheese goes beautifully with charcuterie Tomorrow we’ll fill those baskets with lots of charcuterie #RoyalManx #Awardwinningcharcuterie #ManxProduce

What an amazing day at the Royal Show yest. Our shearling ram won best ram & Manx Loaghtan Champion. Our 3 Loaghtan fleeces got 1st, 2nd and best fleece with lovely comments from British wool judge and our charcuterie sold out on Saturday Afternoon #royalManx #manxloaghtan

Seeing lots of dragonflies, these seem to be the commonest, I think they are common darters but someone out there will know #dragonflies #manxwildlife #farmingwithnature #makespaceforwildlife #isleofman

Slow-mo video of the boys coming back home from the Royal Manx. I always smile looking at our boys as I think they are beautiful! #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #RoyalManxShow #farming #isleofman

Turkey has invited herself to tea with the old girls….amazingly they seem to tolerate her joining in! #manxloaghtan #turkeys #farming #isleofman

It’s been a gray day threatening rain so here are photos of our beautiful rams in sunshine at the Royal Show last weekend #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #nativebreeds #farming #sheep #wool #isleofman

This arrived in the post. I won the Flock Diversity photo given in memory of John Hedges. It is an honor to win this as John was an amazing man who I had huge respect for & did so much for Manx Loaghtans. He was a friend and I miss him. Thank you for choosing my flock.

Wet day with wind and rain brought out lots and lots of swallows, hard to video but stunning to watch #swallows #manxwildlife #manxbirds #naturefriendlyfarming

Found lots and lots of these in the fields, the rain really shows them up. I think they are made by nursery web spiders #manxwildlife #spiderwebs #naturefriendlyfarming #biosphereIOM #isleofman

Heard someone knocking at the patio door……no boys you are not coming in! #turkeys #turkeysarefun #freetoroam #freerange #farming #isleofman

Checking the boys - love this bunch, peacefully living in quite a large bachelor group #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #farming #wool #bestsheep #isleofman

Feeding the turkeys and chickens- their table manners are terrible and so noisy…but they are funny to watch! #turkeys #tukeysarefun #farmyard #freetoroam #freerange #isleofman

A rogue ram (not pure Loaghtan) got into our older ewes. This old ewe had twins that she couldn’t feed but still cared for them. We bottle fed them. They are now weaned and returning to the field. Very sweet they have all stayed together #lambing #lovelymum #isleofman

Love our wild areas, so many wildflowers- Marsh Woundwort, Purple Vetch and the remains of the knapweed, so important as provides a late boost of nectar & there is a white tailed bumblebee on it #ManxWildflowers #naturefriendlyfarming #naturematters #BiosphereIOM #isleofman

Look who was waiting on the patio for me this morning - they were fed up I ignored them for 10mins while I finished what I was doing! Not sure why they come as I never feed them here. #turkeys #freetoroam #freerange #turkeysarefun #isleofman

This was found on the farm near the wool & charcuterie shop soaking wet. It looks well loved, must have a loving home and owner somewhere. Do any recent visitors to the farm shop recognise it? We would love to see it on it’s way home #losttoy #someonesbestfriend #isleofman

Belly deep grass = Loaghtan heaven! #manxloaghtan #rarebreed #nativebreed #sustainablefarming #wool #isleofman
