More lambs this morning . . . that ram sure was busy! All three of these are two years old and first time mothers. Griselda's mother Georgiana (named after the Duchess of Devonshire) has always been an excellent mother and Griselda has taken after her. She is 'cooing' after her little lamb non-stop. Rue's mother, Rosemary who has her own brood this year, always gives us twins and has a very particular look, which she has passed on to all of her daughters, a little severe and other worldly but we love her anyway. Harriet's mother Harryo (named after one of the Duchess of Devonshire's daughter) is a fiercely protective mother and already has twins of her own this year. Harryo and her daughters have a dignity and carriage that surpass any sheep on the farm.
