    Anyone know whether sheep shearing is allowed in lockdown? If so, can anyone recommend a happy clipper that can sort my hair?

    Bought myself an electric trimmer online, and have been really pleased with the cut it gives. Dead easy, and saves money on barbers. Just need a kit which will cut/trim to a length approaching 15-20mm, do the whole head on max length, and then shorten it a few cm to do back and sides again. Not putting a photo up, but it looks quite neat, and not like the old short back and sides. I bought a Braun model.

    Bought some clippers for him indoors and did a half decent job with No 4 all over.

    Don’t think I can do your hair, but i could drop the clippers off?

    I think it's too late for that. My mop looks like a copse of Japanese Knotweed that's been saturated in neat Tomorite.

    I'm happy to bring my lawnmower round, if you think it would help.

    Exactly what I've done. Several attachments, easy to use on head and face. Also bought a braun

    It will need sharpening afterwards. Please put it on a high cut, and don't forget to put the clippings in the GREY bin, not green.

    It's well hidden for the time being.

    I'm actually quite worried, as we're coming up to the spring nesting season. Don't want a load of tits moving in to my barnet.
