Winter Arrival


Just when you think the winter can't get any more dreary a reminder of the coming Spring appears. This morning a black faced ewe lambed right next to my boundary fence. Briar the donkey has taken on the role of nanny donkey and general protector. Not that the ewe needs any help- she's already has charged Mishka who had decided to roam the paddock in search of the afterbirth as well as Gypsy who thought she'd come and say hello to the new arrival. However the sheep was quite happy for me to come within a few feet and snap away. I was even allowed to pat the baby. Perhaps I am a latent sheep whisperer.
