I had the most wonderful day yesterday taken for a drive through the Yorkshire Dales, up and over and back the Buttertubs pass. All along the roads were these black faced Dales sheep.
I did this quick sketch before bed, based on memory, photos and a Google image. In my small pocket Handbook using a 2b pencil and a black Lamy pen that I washed a bit.
Thank you M & J!

Re: swadale sheep
Well, Linda, you'd mentioned your interest in both "All Creatures Great and Small" and "Wallace and Gromit", so we HAD to take you for a drive through Wensleydale (Cheese, Gromit?). 
So, up the length of Wensleydale to Hawes (JAMES HERIOT filming country), over Buttertubs Pass, and back down Swaledale (after which the sheep are named).
Our LindasPencils in Buttertubs Pass: Studying sensible Swaledale sheep for her delightful drawing. The others just stand in the middle of the road trying to work out which side to go for grass...... while we drive around them.
Jenny and I have got Linda all to ourselves, all week! Couldn't be better!

Re: swaledale sheep
I keep reminding Mike about fish and visitors...!
But this is the most beautiful country and I think I could stay forever
But don't worry Mike
