Last week we went up to the Cotswold Hills on a chilly spring day. As we parked the bike, a farmer drove into a field on a quad bike, towing a high sided trailer. Four lambs and two ewes tumbled out. We got chatting to the farmer, who was very proud of this year's results; it's been an excellent year for sheep and we were pleased to hear it. These little ones were only two days old, but after just a few minutes in the brisk Easterly wind, (which you can hear whipping round us) they were exploring their new world with a joyful curiosity. Down in the valley, gangs of lambs charged about and bounced around.
What fun, and such a treat to watch this morning!
ReplyDeleteso very lovely to see...what a treat..thanks Gretel!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet, I do love lambs. We saw lots of pretty black-legged lambs in Yorkshire which always remind me of the tiny plastic lambs I had as a child... along with one pig, a cow and a three-legged horse. I did smile at your description of 'little gangs of lambs'... perfect :-)
ReplyDeleteOH...I just love it!
ReplyDeleteI was in the Cotswolds several years ago and this is bringing back sweet memories!
Thank you for sharing,
Joanne
Had to come back and watch them again ;-)
ReplyDeleteReally cute. Love going on walks with you!
ReplyDeleteOh PG, now I have had a true glimpse of what spring does bring. This is a beautiful film of 21 and 22 and their lambs.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe how these newborns move around so briskly. It's fun to watch how the ewes mind their youngsters.
As always, I thank you for taking me far, far away from my cityscape. xo
That was a wonderful vision of spring !
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! It makes me want some baby lambs.
ReplyDeleteCarla

ReplyDeleteGood morning !(for me, anyway!) So glad I found your lovely blog today! Loved those sweet lambies--what a wonderful sight!
ReplyDeleteI was able to visit the Cotswolds once, and fell in love--can't wait to return. I'm a California girl who with a soft spot in her heart for England, so I'll be back to visit often...thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!
Hope you have a beautiful day!
So sweet! It makes me sad I like to eat them...
ReplyDeleteoh, the little darlings! what a
ReplyDeletetreat to watch them.
thank you
I love the way little lambs hop sideways. Kittens do the same thing, I just can't decide which is more precious... I'll take one of each! Jeri
ReplyDeleteI always get so excited when I see the first lambs of the year!
