Babies and Blossom

Arjan's Oma (Grandma) has a small meadow behind her garden that she rents to a local farmer to keep a sheep in and since it is lambing season we have been eagerly awaiting the pitter patter of tiny hooves.
Today we got the call that the heavily pregnant sheep who had been in residence had been taken to give birth and had been replaced with a sheep and her three lambs! We headed straight over to have a look at the little bundles of fluffy joy.


The welcoming party.

There was beautiful blossom on the few peach trees in the meadow


They weren't too sure about Arjan



This cute little fella was being very obliging and posing beautifully for me.

They got a little braver when Arjan gave Momma sheep some bread and she chilled out a bit.

They peeked around the stable wall to watch us as we left.

No doubt we will go visit them a few more times before we leave for York on Friday. We also have a gig tomorrow in Nijmegen and Arjan and I have been busy working on a little project that we may reveal soon....
