Bluefaced Photographic History Tour

During my recent visit with Glenn Shapiro at her Hazelwood Farm, I took the opportunity to take a few photographs of the Bluefaced Leicester photo collections that were throughout the house. These represent some of Hazelwood's finest Leicesters from the past and present.

Lanark ~ Best Western

Like my son said, this has to be one of the coolest looking 'Best Western' hotels, when he saw these photos of one of the hotels I stayed at during my recent UK trip.
The inside views didn't disappoint me either.

The sheep superintendent at the WSWF just sent me this photo that was taken of 'EdenVale'
