Another day of 8am breakfasts so able to head down town early for papers, petrol and bottle bank. One B&B out and none back in. Got some lunch together and then headed over to Blore Pastures near Ilam with our friends for the English National Sheepdog trials.  This was the first of the nationals with the Welsh, Scottish and Irish to follow during August and the World and International to be held in September. We had an enjoyable time with the weather holding. A chance to look around the stalls introduced us to a lady who creates yarn out of pet hair and knits them into bears! We gave our dogs a brush and she spun it into 2 metres of yarn (very much like 2 ply wool). We were surprised so little could be spun into so much! 2oz of hair could make a small bear! We didn’t stay until the end as it was not expected to finish until quite late in the evening as they still had to have a run off with the winners of the previous two days. Came back and had a quiet evening.
