Day 182 - Counting sheep

Work and taxes. Taxes and work. That's been our day today. Well, except for a short break to go do a bit of shopping at the Tuesday market.

So, rather than bore you with those details, today I bring you a special treat. It's lambing season, so fields are filling up fast with cute-as-a-button baby lambs. Across the UK, some 15 million ewes will give birth this season. Most of the time, you see one lamb born to a ewe, but twins are quite common. In fact, a ewe can have up to five at one time. Apparently the number varies by breed. One our trip out yesterday, we saw one ewe with triplets following her. I was tired just looking at her.


So, here for your viewing pleasure, some lamb pictures I took yesterday. I can already hear the oohhs and aahhs...or is that oohhs and baas?!
