Somèthing happy and cheerful.

That’s lovely Serendipity!

Bellanonna My grandad was a farmer, the farm is behind us, or should I say, it WAS, there are now 4 huge gated houses there ! I grew up on the farm, he bought me 2 ponies i called them both Fred !!! Ha ha.

A heartwarming picture Serendipity. I envy you your outlook too.

That sounds like a lovely wedding. Much happier and more fun than all those overmanaged formal ones.

Awww wow, thats sounds perfect to me nanna8.

Happy and cheerful- my lovely granddaughter, who is a nurse and works really hard, just got married and it was the best wedding on a farm with hay bales, a band and just a perfect sunny day.

If people didn't want to eat the meat, farmers wouldn't keep sheep and raise lambs in the first place...

Lovely !
Spring is so beautiful .
Brought up by my Welsh Borders grandma I was fed on mutton and lamb .
Unfortunately it's still my favourite meat .
I do feel guilty eating it .

The thought of those lovely little bouncy lambs ending up on your dinner plate is certainly not pleasant.

But, by the time that happens, they aren't pretty little things any more. They're nearly as big as their mums, usually with a lot of unpleasant clag that needs cleaning off the wool round their bums and are nowhere near as cute. Of course, not all of them go to the butcher, some are kept.

We kept sheep for a while and I hated taking them to the butcher. The best way of dealing with that was to make sure that they had a really good life until it was time for them to go and then taking them directly to the butcher with no stressful market etc. in between.

I'd much rather watch them playing 'follow my leader' around the fields but, unfortunately, they grow up....

I was once having dinner in a hotel and the waiter said that the 'special' of the day was , 'Lovely little baby lamb'!

Lambs are beautiful and where I live there are 100s of them. But why is lamb so expensive and in fact some restaurants don’t even have it on the menu?

Those little lambs scampering about are so sweet that I can't possibly eat them now.

I can't bare to eat lamb, never have.
The farmers wife has kept 1 of the little lambs whose mother rejected her, she has called her Elsie.

Yes Fanny, right opposite our home. X

Lovely. I love to see them skipping around and playing.

Awwwww, that's lovely.

And now I feel slightly guilty at the roast lamb pub lunch we have just returned from

Beautiful

I love seeing the new little lambs, until I remember what`s going to happen to most of them.

Thanks S22, hits a spot nicely ?.

Lovely! Is that near where you live?
It’s absolutely beautiful.

We have cows in the field at the bottom of our garden.
Before we lived here it was sheep.
I’m so glad that it isn’t anymore as I would have got incredibly soppy about them, and possibly steal borrow one

Yum ? (evil grin) Sorry. Couldn't resist!
