 lambs Hi All, spring must be on the way, there are lambs in the field near my allotment running around, And I keep reading the back of the seed packets. A sure sign that spring is on the way.

Re: lambs We've been seeing lambs round here since the beginning of January. Yesterday it was beautiful weather and today it is pouring down. Poor little things.

Re: lambs If there is EVER any lamb left (2 teenage sons!!) I make a sheppards pie which is always popular with a bit of melted cheese ontop of the potato
