Spring has sprung

Yesterday Ian and I went to a place called Tatton Park - it's a National Trust property near Manchester. Had a really lovely day, it was actually quite warm when the sun was shining!

Anyhoo, I thought I'd share some pics

There is a farm as part of the estate, hence the pics of cute ickle fluffy stuff

Oh they're lovely pics I would love to have a cuddle of the lambs and piglets, they look so appealing

 

[Becky]

Seeing the lambs bounce around was really funny There was one that must have only a few days old and when it tried to stand up it's legs were really wobbly, awwww!

Aahhh... you have to love their little "knock-knees" Were you allowed to get within touching distance? Or is that not permitted? (I love to be able to "hob-nob" with animals, it always feels so great when they respond to you )

 

[Ian]

They were just in front of us, so they were really close - even I thought the littlest one was cute The little chicks were great, they're pretty fast runners for something so small!

I meant to have added that your pic of the Jackdaw is particularly good; they visit our garden in little family groups and are quite entertaining to watch. The very young ones often look as if they are wearing little grey bonnets Your Tatton Park visit must have been a very good day out

Ha ha! Seeing the little lambs actually really made us both want a curry... so we went for one last night!
