Last Day Sheep Shearing 2020, Scotland

Hallelujah!

The last hirsel were shed.

The last of the wool was rolled, packed and compressed into sacks.

Goodbye greasy lanolin, goodbye tiny itchy bits of wool - though you live on in my clothing. Goodbye rattle of shearing machine, bleating of sheep and clatter of gates. So long for another year.
