Let the fun begin, our first Lamb born this evening 1 down, 8 to go . he has to be the prettiest small animal i've ever held, stunning. no help needed she did it all by herself.

That is just too cute for words!
We'll turn the dust to soil,
Turn the rust of hate back into passion.
It's not water into wine
But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,
but passive.


Bring the peace back

Eh...hemm....

We dont expect the first lambs until the beginning of March, Plenty soon enough for me as everything is so wet and misserable here at the moment, We will bring them into the barn to lamb as we can keep an eye out on the camera for any problems.

Did we not discuss videos....?   ;D  If not a webcam?   :D
