         Life in a Country Wool Shop

... there was a time when my career was in caring for wildlife. This, it seems, is an occupation that follows one for life. Everyone that knows me, all of my customers, my family and friends are certain that wherever I am, so are there animals. This young fellow needs a bit of a helping hand. He's home with me through the  evening and at the shop during the day . One of the many  benefits of self employment in a country wool shop is that I can follow my heart ... in every sense.
