Those little jackets seem to be this seasons must have for every lamb about the field

 

Is this a new thing, as I've only just started to see them?

Two observations.

 

I see the older grand daughter is a right "ham" in front of the camera, that cheesy grin is priceless, save that one for when she gets married at the wedding meal to embarrass her!

 

I thought the lambs were "pre wrapped" for the table . . . .:angel:

No, they've been available for years and we always have a stock of them for when bad weather is promised. They come in a variety of colours, the pair I photographed just happened to be in the perfect position from where I was working in the next field but there are others around wearing red or orange coats.

Yes I must admit she can be a bit of a poser but on this occasion I caught her unaware. She was looking down concentrating on the lamb, I had her in the viewfinder and said 'smile Elliw' and immediately pressed the button, this was the result.

As regards the 'pre wrapped' we are always looking for new markets;)

Thank you. Gwenno, the little one is a bit of a tomboy, although it doesn't show clearly in the photo she has her thumb up to me, I have taught them both the good old British thumbs up and as they get older I will explain the significance of it as a way of leading them into wartime history. The older one, Elliw is very artistic but she seems to have all the makings of a good shepherd, she works hard at lambing time and pulled a lamb on her own for the first time this week.
