Just had to share how proud I am of my beautiful Herdy Bluebell.  I came home from work yesterday to find 2 beautiful twins - male and female - she'd lambed all by herself just like last year when she also had twins (one of each) in exactly the same spot  in the field!  She is a first class mother - Herdys sometimes get a bad rap but my experience of them is that they are beautiful, gentle, intelligent and amazing mums - my other 2 are due to lamb any day now - they both had lambs last year also with no problems.  Big up the Herdys! I will post photos soon so you can also appreciate these little beauties! They each have a squashed ear at the moment, probably how they were lying in the womb.  Super cute!

Hope all of you who are in the midst of lambing are having positive expetriences  :fc: photos on @julesmanools on twitter (sorry files too large to add and I'm struggling to find a way to get them on :(

I loved looking at the herdwicks on the hills when I went to the lake district last year, they looked like lovely polar bears :) very pretty sheep.

I love Herdwicks too. Used to have a lovely Ram at the college I worked.

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

Another set of twins born to another of my very clever herdy girls!  two tup lambs this time - goergous and no problems at all despite driving rain and wind!  The four of them are skipping about and having races in the sunshine as I type :)
