Phoebe called her lamb "Lambie" which seems to me a perfect name for a recently born lamb. Lambie was born at Whirlow Hall Farm a month ago. Like the other "Lambies", Phoebe's was a greedy guts - guzzling the warm bottle of freshly made up milk as though tomorrow might never come.
A good fund-raising idea by the staff at Whirlow Hall Farm - pay £10 and get to hold and feed a lamb. They have been offering this for years. Last year, Phoebe was very apprehensive and could not bring herself to even touch the baby sheep but this time she happily got in the pen with her grandma as her face filled with delight.
Lambs are famously associated with springtime. Christians associate lambs with Jesus of Nazareth - the carpenter's son.. I did not think that I would see The Lamb of God at Whirlow Hall Farm but there he was staring at me from his pen and slightly out of focus...
