Gratuitous lamb picture

I know it's just another ewe lamb, but it's my very first and I am inordinately proud of her (and Mum).

Emotionally-drained of mid-Wales

Congratulations - that's a lovely pic and a lovely lamb.

Her mum's lovely too and she's really proud I'd imagine by the attention she's giving her.

Don't worry about wanting to tell the world. We've had sheep for ages and I still think it's a bloomin' miracle when a lamb's born and want tell everybody. Smile

From the amount of washing she's had, she must be the cleanest lamb in Wales!

Lovely piccy Judith. I love piccies of very young lambs, I've got 3 on my screensaver in work... I think my long-suffering colleagues all think I'm mad but they're too nice to say anything!!! Very Happy

Thanks everyone (and lovely pics Callie and HWH).

I think I'm turning into a neurotic first-time lamb owner - I was convinced they would both be dead when I came out this morning! Fortunately mother is a lot more sensible and they both enjoyed a hearty breakfast followed by a lie down in the early sunshine.
