Feeding Time

I took these photos using a mixture of high tech (the wireless remote control shutter trigger for the camera) and low tech (an overturned lick tub stood in for a tri-pod). I spent many months sitting on these bales, feeding young lambs. This was my earliest batch. They were keen for their 4 o'clock feed.

I fed them in whatever order I could pick them up in. Ethel was first.

Sybil.

Frances, the oldest.

Frida.

And Fern.

Four times a day this was the routine. The lambs were excited every time.

We paid a visit to Blue Belle.

It was such a lovely evening, I ended up turning the camera on myself.

I used my phone to get a photo that included all of us.

Frances, much bigger now, and Skye, the youngest pet lamb.

And finally, a trip with Marigold to see the bluebells.
