Well, our last sheep lambed on 30th April and we had all of the sheep clipped at the weekend just past.  Imagine my surprise when I looked out of the window yesterday, to spot something small and black on the hill at the back of the house - an unexpected lamb!  Our only Oxford Down ewe not to have lambed had produced this lovely tup lamb.



As if that wasn't enough of a shock, I was doing my last check of the evening at dusk, when I spotted another new arrival.  Making my way over to her in the field, I was shocked to find a great huge donkey of a lamb!  She's easily the biggest lamb this year by a long way, goodness only knows where mum was hiding her  !!

Anyway, here she is

Congratulations. Oh I miss lambing. Best and most knackering time of the year

They were nice surprises 

Yes, I miss lambing, though not the worry and the lack of sleep  But missing lambing is maybe why my kitchen is currently full of chicks........

That sounds by far the less stressful way to lamb. Both beauties  congratulations

   And the shearer didn't spot the two pregnant ewes when clipping them?   

Anyway, lovely surprises, lovely lambs
