Mary had a little lamb. . . . .

Or rather,  (Hoorah) we have had the first lamb  ( 6 days old) and our granddaughter has named her “Mary”.

All is well now, but her mother, who is an elderly ewe, retained the afterbirth and was quite poorly for a few days.  Antibiotics and other meds and she is fine now and both are on the drive amongst the daffs for a few days so we can keep an eye on them.  But little else happening in the maternity unit at present  . . . . . . I expect the other ewes will pick the most inconvenient moment to start “performing  . . .
