The top picture was taken around the Hartpury area and although the sheep on the left appears to be suffering from severe alopecia, some sheep are in fact deliberately bred to shed their wool naturally to save farmers splashing out on shearing costs, so I'm guessing this is an example of such a breed.
The photo under it was taken on the outskirts of Gloucester and on this one the wool here has been snagged along the length of the fence, which in turn takes on the appearance of a loom!
I suppose it means the farmers still have to go and collect all this surplus wool at some stage.
