2nd November 2011: “Kirstie's Handmade Britain” on Channel 4 on November 2nd featured Naomi Stannard with her needle felting – those of you at the Annual Show in June will remember her winning ‘bottle hugger’. And see it here with the Manx Loaghtan Sheep Breeders' Group rosette, as seen on telly!

27th October 2011: "Matt and Allegra's Big Farm”, which was aired on 24th October on the Good Food Channel, featured Jeff Clarke showing Matt Dawson and Allegra McEvedy how to shear his Manx Loaghtan sheep. The lamb chop recipe they cooked at Woodbine Farm, and shared with Jeff and his team, is here  (but it only shows the recipe and not the eating!). Watch that episode again, see here for details.
