So sorry to hear about your lambs ..... so sad  :'(

Managed to struggle up to 3 deg. here now.

Torrential rain and a cold wind. Checking our lambs regularly. Have opened all gates so that they can use all field shelters and hopefully find somewhere out of the driving rain. Cant do a lot more  :(

Frustating that you cant do anything outdoors. No vegetables planted at all yet  :o and cant get started on any of the outdoor jobs that we had planned for the spring. Still must stop soon.

Someone turn that tap off  ;D

Sorry about your lambs, this weather is appalling  :(.  All my sheep have disappeared from view so I guess they are all by the hedges  :-\.  It's really cold especially with the strong winds.  Tomorrow looks to be much better ...

 :( how very sad. I had one born outside yesterday that I got inside very quickly with another born in the early hours of this morning whos tucked up into a field shelter but planning lambings at this time of year  it should be good weather awful when it isn't! .

Sorry about your lambs  :bouquet: .  You would expect to be safe weather-wise by the end of April.  Strange sort of drought  :-\

Mine are tearing about the field in the wind and rain. I had three sets of twins born this morning, all seem fine. I think the weather bothers me more than them.
