We have just had three days of sheep graziers alerts, big winds and rain coming over the alps to us from the south. Always a worry, especially if there are any new lambs. We have a few ewes lambing, contrary to our best laid  plans courtesy of an uninvited ram getting through the fence and into the older ewes.
So when I woke up in the night to a howling gale I had time to reflect how the same weather means such different things to us all. The snow fields would be delighted to get such a good start to the season, crop growers relieved at the rain to keep their crops growing and anyone with lambs or shorn sheep would just be anxious. This is the time of year we are glad of the native tussock as it provides good shelter from the wind.

The unwelcome guest - the first poddy for 2012. We really didn't want one but are not tough enough to leave a hypothermic lamb to it's fate.

That must be the ultimate fashion statement in lamb covers. VERY CUTE.
