From the Lofty ranges of Black Springs Ben has come to tell us that his VS was better cared for than others in a previous episode. There are  breeds of sheep other than Merinos; he had a Polaris (which rhymes with Belarus) which was a "Bag of Snakes"; and that things are more difficult to grab when they're wet and slippery!Keep an eye out for Wunderbar Lamb in your local butchers or if in the Central Market as has now been revealed. Keep up the good work; and thanks for the chat Ben.
