Lambing live

Well we are now fully moved in to the mouse house with our possessions scattered all over the place!  Today BT managed to get the phone sorted out, only 5 days late and numerous phone calls later, I'm hoping that the broadband will be on on Thursday; until then I am reliant on a dongle. 

The dongle means that I have to hang out of the window, stand on one leg and smile sweetly to the thing; then if you are lucky it works.  Needless to say this wont be a long blog.

I thought I'd better make the effort as you all might have thought I'd vanished into the container along with our furniture.

It has been a really hectic couple of weeks and there is no sign of things slowing down.  Our first two alpacas to birth are at 326 days so not long left now.  In fact Sienna is starting to get a little milk coming so I'm guessing she'll be first.

I have been helping Alan with lambing today.  I do enjoy it, there's something about a lamb that is all cute and makes you feel good.  There have been a few that needed a little TLC, after a cold night there were a couple of little lambs that needed to come in.

This afternoon I did the field rounds on my own and came across a ewe with a rather stuck looking lamb.  All that was visible was a bit of nose and a googly eye.  I eventually managed to locate both feet and after a lot of persuasion I managed to pull out the lamb shortly followed by it's twin.  Phew I thought I was going to have to admit defeat!
