Sheep Flocks

See It on A Postcard's  Thursday Postcard Hunt theme is "On the Farm"


although these sheep are safely grazing on "Parson's Meadow". The sender of the card (Kate) didn't have enough room on the back for her full message

which was a card swap with her friend with the familiar refrain "I would have sent one sooner but I have been very busy"   The card is from some time between 1907-1917 and here is the card's

destination, the 18th Century Langley Old Hall, all the lawn is missing is a few sheep

but perhaps not as many as this. The flock is by the River Findhorn, Scotland in 1938 and it looks as though the sheep may be deciding whether to follow the post van.

Such great vintage postcards! And sheep make the scenery so...pastoral and sweet!

I love old cards with messages, but how wonderful to see the destination as well! Those Scottish sheep look ready for some shearing.

Very nice post! There is a story behind every postcard. Or more than one!
