Hello from Rachel on Fair Isle
My friend Rachel lives on Fair Isle and I'm thrilled to welcome her here to The Woolly Thistle blog showing us a bit of her life and work. I hope you enjoy her video as much as I do. I especially love seeing her sheep and hearing their adorable names and seeing their eager faces. Rachel will be a regular contributor to our blog so be sure to leave her a comment letting her know you enjoyed her video!

Hello Rachel,
Such a different life you have. I’m too much of a townie (in Ohio, USA) to do what you do, but I do appreciate your choice of profession and am impressed that you live in such rugged countryside. Your sheep are adorable and I wish you all good luck with lambing.
Love watching and hearing about your life on Fair Isle. Have so many questions about your way of life. When I saw the sheep eating, I wondered about the hay. Grown there and stored? I also loved that the sheep seem to be part of the family. So curious and affectionate. It is a treat hearing from you.
Hi Rachel! Your video is delightful. I’m super cheered by your rainbow jumper, all the sheep and their sweet names, and the beauty of Fair Isle. Can’t wait to see the lambs!
The name “Barnacle” is simply the best. I laughed outloud, thought of my cat Minerva and gave her barnacle as a middle name. Landscape is amazing.
wishing you the best,
phoebe
