I was in Suffolk yesterday for meetings and after we had finished I was lucky enough to be taken to the farm's lambing sheds where 2,400 lambs will be born over the next 6 weeks. The shepherds have beds in the sheds as they are needed 24 hours a day. Lots of lambs had been born already (this little black one was only a few hours old) and they were just adorable - I got to cuddle one and really wanted to bring him home with me. One of the shepherds said that she has a lamb that lives with her chickens....now there's an idea!

    They are adorable! I noticed the first lambs near us in Cumbria about a week ago whilst I driving along. I was sorely tempted to stop and take some pictures, I wish I had now! How can anyone resist their sweet faces?

    Aww those lambs are adorable! Wow, over 2000 new lambs must mean a LOT of hard work there!
