Motherly Devotion

Lambing is in full swing. For those involved this means broken nights and hard work, trials and tribulations. I still never tire of that miracle of new life, and you've got to have got pretty hardened to it when the antics of young lambs no longer make you smile - the lambs of this ewe certainly did me, as they treated her as a kind of trampoline - but she bore it all with a kind of resigned indulgence and just calmly continued to chew her cud. She's probably tired too!
