And some more

Our local fields are full of lambs at the moment - they have been born over quite a long period as some are newborn others quite mature. I love to watch them playing 'I'm the king of the castle' on a boulder in the field!

I agree that lambs have really cute faces. What a pity they look so stupid as adults!

Hi Midget

At the risk of finding men in white coats standing at my door ............... if you ever have the opportunity to get up close and talk to a sheep you will find that they are actually quite animated. I agree that members in a flock usually look quite gormless - but they remind me of a coachload of tourists

We can get quite rude (behind their backs) about some of the coachloads that come to us. Before Butlins Pwllheli closed it was a saying 'All coach parties behave like sheep, but only Butlins ones actually go Baa'. As the Butlins parties signed up for different day outings they usually did not recognise each other. This meant we could place a stooge in the carriage to buy refreshments and a guidebook. It was very noticeable that once this stooge had bought others followed suit and revenue increased! (I still think a justifiable piece of marketing as nobody was forcing anyone to buy, just giving a lead)

Katherine !

Living where you live, and getting involved in a conversation about sheep might prompt comments regarding leisure centres from some posters !!

Incidently, I also adore lambs.

Pass the mint sauce and redcurrant-jelly, someone !
