The (Non) Silence of The Lambs

Spring is busting out all over!! Our afternoon walks this week have been even more enjoyable as we have been watching lambs being born every day!!  There is something so utterly cute about them - all soft and floppy.....and NOISY!! 

Brian, the shepherd/midwife held up one for us to look at just after it was born - although we are not allowed to touch them because the Ewe would disown it as it wouldn't recognise our smells.


They have the same effect on me as puppies and kittens - I want to take one home. 80 have been born so far with another 400 ewes due twins and triplets in the coming days.


Now, where's the mint jelly, garlic and rosemary?
