Rosemary, Just found your blog and so enjoyed reading it. I grew up on a farm in Rutland and the aura that surrounds that life never quite leaves you. I used to lay on the banks of a ditch with my father watching fox clubs frolic in the sun. I cared for the orphaned lambs and sometimes, when on night patrol, carried them in a sack over my back when found newly born and frozen in the snow. A few hours in the bottom oven of the Rayburn revived them and on coming down to breakfast, I was over joyed to see them running and bleating around the kitchen table. Happy memories, Thank you, Gwendol (choir member at Challoch)
As a child I lived in industrial Lancashire but for most of my adult life I have lived in rural England and Scotland. I always enjoy reading your blog. I enjoyed reading Gwendol’s comments. My great-aunt Sally’s greatest joy was when she saw her first lamb of the year, especially if it was a black one!

Thanks so much! I’ll pass on your comment to Rosemary.
