I've been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks.

A few weeks back we adopted a lamb for a while as it's mum had abandoned it. It was duly called Larry, thanks Del (actually turned out to be a boy).

Anyway a wee video of larry, who btw is now re-homed. Took another one 2 weeks ago but got it re-homed in a day.

In case anyone wonders the lambs are occasionally abandoned at birth, especially if it's been a hard winter and the sheep are week.

Had this little chap in the garden, baking hot in the garden last week, so he got a bath and taken back to the local stream.

Now normally I would admit that a shot of the mini was intentional but they were not. So it must mean that I now subconsciously take a pic with it in it... Worrying.

And yes free... Free range eggs are even tastier.

Cracking news ;-)

Our neighbour over the back keeps chickens, it's nice to hear them make their noises as they cluck about. They only have 2 though so not quite so many eggs!

Yes we have for a while anyway. The lamb was hard work feeding every 3-4 hours.
