Birchfield Farm Lambing Live: Wishing Ewe a Happy Monday

Some might remember that last summer we stopped by an Birchfield Icecream Farm where P and Alfie finally got to meet some sheep.  P accomplished a life-long dream and Alfie was very afraid. This year, we made a trip back to Birchfield for "lambing live" - a daily springtime event in their barnyard where you can both hold and feed baby lambs.  I went early last week with the ladies group on base and then we visited again this weekend with P.

There is nothing sweeter than holding a baby lamb...they are very soft and cuddly (who knew that baby lambs like to be held!).  Feeding them is another story...they are very aggressive with the bottle and gulp it down in like 10 seconds!  In any case, below are a few photos of us - a regular occurrence here in Yorkshire, but for us Americans, a real treat!

Beautiful Yorkshire countryside...hard to believe this is just 20 minutes from our house:
