Which reminds me I must get the leg out of the freezer for tomorrows roast :-\ !  Lovely pics Di, but can you keep that snow up your way please! ;D

LOL Doris...

EEEk - lovely spring day here, sunny and warm..... Amazing to think it's the same country.

Oh Di!! What a wonderful part of the world you live in!

But snow today !?  And that poor mummy and baby lamb :'(  Hopefully it will clear soon to allow them to feed. :)

Take care !

Dont worry about the lamb, they will be fine in light snow. Windy wet conditions and wet under foot are what they do not like. Hypothermia can set in then.

Snow actually is not a huge problem, we have lambed ewes in a blizzard and they are far better off than if it was raining/damp.

(Farmers son and I must have delivered literally 1,000's of lambs over the years.)

Oh thanks for that reassurance Jerry ! It distresses me to think they may be suffering from the cold weather -

Lovely pictures.  We got snow on the Cheviots as well and I believe it was lying on top of Soutra Hill this morning.

As for the lambs, well....... I am sure a few perished yesterday with the torrential rain and cold.  I know they get on OK with snow, but not getting so wet.  I will be hearing in the next few days how many were lost as a result of Fridays downpour.

Thank you for showing them Magpie. I'm sure nobody believed me on other boards when I said it was snowing here in Oldham  :) Had to lug everything back into the greenhouse and cover my tenders!
