Sheep were a critical part of every farm's economy, and Dad had quite a few shots of their flock. The first one below is from his earliest days, the notes in a decidedly "schoolboy" hand, but not sure who he was intending to send the photo to, possibly - going by the technical notes added - Eddie Vickery, the local schoolteacher who got him interested in photography to start with. ("Mrs" you'd guess was his mum!)

| Mrs makes me farmwork so am sending it on to you. Shows how tame sheep were before crutching. (This was done in ink, but added in pencil...) 3 done in the Rajar enlardger made a better job than the one on weak neg. |
