Or rather stuck in the mud!
I returned home to Struan Farm from a quick trip to Auckland this week to learn from nephew Mike that the four pet lambs in the front paddock had decided to explore the pond. He arrived to give them their morning bottle and had to round them up from down there, muddy and messy. We haven't refilled it as yet after John pulled the plug for the big winter clean out. Mike also had to rescue Trixie, who'd gotten stuck in the muck and couldn't get herself out. Oh dear!
Alfie, Daisy, Trixie and TimTam are all definitely looking worse for wear after this little episode. I'm glad I managed to get some Struan Farm Christmas card photos taken before their adventure into the muck. I just hope they've gotten that out of their system now. Not sure I really want to be pulling pet lambs out of the mud; but as you know, I will if I have to.
It was lovely having clean pet lambs at the front gate while it lasted!
