Just like a Number 7 Bus.....

You wait ages for one to come along and then 3 of them appear at once. First Great Gutton lambs of 2013 arrived today, two sets of twins and one single. Mothers and babies all doing well and have been moved to the orchard maternity unit where there is shelter, grass and since it's just behind the back door, we can keep an eye on them. Even spotted the beautiful white Barn Owl flying through the apple trees - we first saw it a couple of days ago and it seems to be hanging around, so who knows what will be arriving next!
 Here's a picture of our first arrivals - one ewe and one ram lamb. The boy is called Harvey (a promise we made to some guests last year whose son Harvey helped us with apple juice and cider making) and we have yet to decide (or agree!) on the ewe lambs name.............................
