Sleepy sheepies

I thought today's photo would be a doddle, that I'd wake up to a land covered in snow.
Instead there was a cold and frosty start to the day and I took a quick snap of these sheep who were having a lie-in.
There appears to be snow to the north, south and west of us, and now we're battening down the hatches for wind and rain, as Storm Rachel sweeps in from the Atlantic

Nice title. :-) They are fit for the weather with their wool coats.

Conversation continues from the 29 December shot:
"I told you she'd be back."
"Yeah, but I really can't be bothered getting out of bed this morning."
It would be nice to have snow to shoot... probably less nice to have it to drive through. I think you lucked out a little here.

They look nice in their winter coats, like the frosty grass too! Hope the storm isn't too bad in your area. V

Quite comfortable in their wooly blankets. A nice thought on a cold morning!

Hope you are not too battered by Rachel!
Sheep are not as dim as they look!

Resting before the storm? The wind is picking up here - I think Rachel has just arrived. V.

They look pretty relaxed, and one of them has a sleepy eye on you. Super capture, Margaret. V.

Looks like one got the prime spot.
