Feeling Sheepish

One afternoon we were outside having tea, and the sheep sounded unusually loud and bleaty. The next day, the farmer's helper happily filled us in: it was time to wean the babies, so they had placed the ewes in one field and the lambs in the opposite field, with the road between them.

In the following days, I had the occasion to use the car and happened upon a lamb that had wandered into the road in a bid to find its mother. The poor lamb was absolutely panicked by the car, and was running away from me, but was then trapped by the cattle gate at the end of the road. A last-ditch effort had it wriggling through the fence rather gracelessly...causing guffaws on our part!

All this to say, I was prepared the next time we saw a lamb, and filmed it for your viewing pleasure. I apologize in advance because it's sideways...I was completely unable to fix that (all the "rotate 90 degree" options that supposedly exist in Youtube and Quicktime were completely absent. If you can fix, have at it and thanks!)

Love,
