New sheephouse

After a bout of serious overtime work, the new sheep house was finally completed on Wednesday morning. With conferences and lectures further south and abroad, we were going to leave Tønsåsen in Askild's hands for a while. And at this time of year that would be an unfair thing to do if the premises weren't ready for wintery weather. The geese have already moved into their new house and Askild says they seem quite content, after some inital confusion and scepticism. The sheep, however, will be out in the field eating grass until there is so much snow that they need to come indoors for some bread and hay. Klaus has made a separate entrance for them, in a red frame to the right.
