EWE would not believe your eyes over the holiday weekend—sheep-shearing in the middle of London’s inner urban East End.
Farm volunteers demonstrate the old Australian tradition during the Sheep & Wool Fayre at Spitalfields City Farm over Bank Holiday weekend.
It was a snip giving rare breeds of British sheep a quick short-back-and-sides, to the delight of visitors who were also shown how to spin yarn, knit, crochet and weave.
Children made their very own take-home toy sheep. Many followed one another like lambs to the slaughter to have their faces painted like sheep.
They weren't being sheepish, of course.
