How interesting. It’s wonderful to know that they are still used. I see them occasionally but they’re rarely used by shepherds any longer — more often by children as playhouses or for display (like this one which is at the National Trust property of Kingston Lacey in Dorset).

I was led to your blog by The Book Lady Blog and a review of the book. Scrolling down further on you site, I see the sheepherder hut. In America they are called a Sheepherder wagon. My dad is now 80 and makes reproductions of the sheepherder wagons. My girls and I slept out in one this summer visiting him on the farm. What a great experience: )

Thanks for stopping by… and I hope you enjoy the book. (Watch out for the woolly-pig though).

Yay! I’m a new visitor! I have gotten the book but have been feverishly reading all the backposts on your site before I start. Can’t wait to meet Jack and Sadie!
