We've been having the perfect weather for lambing so far and the ewes have been making the most of it. Unfortunately, I've been streaming with a full-on cold and it's floored me. The Farmer has coped of course, but it's left me feeling guilty for being no use to anyone. I have one of those very unattractive red noses, pale complexion and bags under my eyes that could be used to fill a wheelie bin. We have a lambing assistant who came to help on Tuesday and Wednesday, but she starts properly on Saturday and will be with us for just over 2 weeks. She's blonde and beautiful. The Farmer is old enough to be her granddad but he likes having her around, lol. In the meantime, enjoy these photos; I haven't taken many yet but once we bring the sheep in at night I'll be able to get some pictures from the night sheds. I'm on Twitter using the hashtag #lambwatch if anyone wants to join me -

They all look so cute. Hmmmm; is that a word which one can use with lambs. Yes; I believe it is.
ReplyDeleteAnd I do hope that you are soon feeling much better. Being sick is never fun; being sick in a busy time is truly horrid.
ReplyDeleteI want one! Although the noise of the maaaaaaaaaas last night drove me mad. And what was the farmer doing constantly reversing a vehicle that beeps when it reverses at 2am! At least I was in bed listening I suspect neither our local farmers or the ewes got any sleep last night. Those pesky lambs!
ReplyDeleteNice blog title.
ReplyDeleteI think I've had the same thing as you. It's dying off now but last week I nearly coughed a lung up. Anyway get well soon.
Oh yeah... any pictures of the new assistant? *runs*
Oh, they are so sweet, there is something very special about new babies! Get better soon! x
ReplyDeleteWish I'd known you before I wrote TORN (http://amzn.to/wfa0Bo), Kathryn. A confrontation between my two potential heros occurs in the lambing barn. I did research with a sheep farmer but who knows what crept in afterwards.
ReplyDeleteDelightful pics. We were leaving a pub in Shoreham, Kent, years ago. Opposite was a field full of gambolling spring lambs and their mums. My grandmother took one look and said: 'Mint sauce!'.
Sorry you're under the weather, CJ! Love the photos; those lambs are definitely TOO CUTE! <3
ReplyDeleteSpring has definitely sprung! Love it! Lovely pics. :)
