Lambs by the dozen.

We have been so busy with the lambs we didn`t know which way to turn. They have been arriving in ones twos threes and one set of four. They are all different. White, brown ,some with spots and one born from our only black sheep totally black. It is so beautiful, as soft as velvet and so black you can`t see it if it is standing in the shadows. Some children came to see the animals yesterday. They loved the lambs and decided to call the black one Heather. Lorna loves black sheep and wants to keep Heather for a ewe.
lauren our Granddaughter from Essex has been staying for half term. Her ambition is to be a vet. When a ewe was having difficulty giving birth Lauren said she would like to deliver it. Under our careful supervision she successfully delivered two little lambs. She took some photographs of them to show her friends at school. This May she has got to do work experience and she is hoping to come to Cornwall to work with our vets.
