So yesterday I mentioned that Erica also had these sheep in her field of Dexters. Black welsh mountain sheep who have no mountain but are very happy.
“My day with the Dexters” YANA day 68 of 100
I spent the morning out at Blyford on a small holding with Erica and her long legged Dexters. A small herd (literally) made up of mums and their calves. The Dexters share the field with some Black Welsh mountain sheep but it was these two mischievous calves that caught my attention.

Earlier I drew Steve with his bees at Adnams (day 33), as today was raining he invited me to draw him as he built some new bee hives. Steve’s bee hives are distinctive with their blue, white and pink (Adnams livery).

It was his beaming smile that caught my attention as a long row of tractors of varying ages were waiting to parade. Another drawing from the Henham steam rally of this aged David Brown tractor.
“Suffolk punches in the ring at Henham steam rally” YANA day 65 of 100
The Suffolk horse is now an endangered rare breed but for hundreds of years it was used by farmers to till the fields. The Suffolk punch is always chesnut in colour and is well built with a strong arching neck, wide back and strong croup. The legs are short and strong and there is little in the way of feathering. I’ve tried to create the sense of weight, yes this gelding weighs around 1000kg.
