Don’t they look cute!
20 March 2014
C – thought a photo of the lambs in their new Macs would make a good post. I have tried to upload a picture of one of our lambs sporting one into the Media Library but my computer is on its last legs, like everything I own, and it refuses point blank to do anything in the least difficult; oh, just remembered, I have a husband like that. Could you do a post and find a photo?
The reason for this stylish apparel is that, after a fabulous fortnight of weather, a change in on its way. Rain should start a 3.00 o’clock this afternoon, so we have been busy bees this morning and introduced our flock to the latest must have for any respectable new born; the LAMB MAC. It is described on the box as the “lifejacket for lambs” and will keep them dry in the rain that is on its way, thus saving lives out there in the big bad world. The only problem is they are hell to get on and the ewes tend to be a little terrified of the lambs when they are wearing them; at least for a while. There must be a website we can link the blog to for Lamb Macs!
Mary Quant eat your heart out, our lambs are fit for the cat walk. All they need now are matching wellies and hats!
S – have just looked them up on the web – they don’t look very eco friendly – what happens to all that plastic when the lambs have managed to remove them?
C – they are biodegradable, of course. Could not have all that plastic littering up the countryside.
S – oh, I did not think of that. Hope they work and that they are not too expensive.
C – they don’t cost a great deal and, if they save one or two lambs, they will pay for themselves. Toby says they are the latest in high tech farming and a must have for any shepherd (or shepherdess)!

How sweet – why do I think ‘mint sauce’ when I see them. Is that very wrong?

Hi Kati, you might be thinking of mint sauce but all I am dealing with is after birth – I believe it is quite nutritious – the sheep seem to like it. Does it go with mint sauce? Camilla x

We have to talk to each other. We have not reached the stellar heights of The Wine Wankes and don’t get as many comments!

LOL! That’s why we created separate accounts from the outset, because we didn’t want to look like we were talking to ourselves. 😉

Oh, that was very clever of you – we were not quite so savvy. How goes it down under? Presumably the weather is getting a little less hot. Camilla’s son, George, is in New Zealand on his gap year at the moment, but will be in Oz visiting Patrick very soon – lucky him!

They are hell to put on, you need two pairs of hands!!! Just been out to check them in the rain and found one hanging on the barbed wire fence it belonged to the tinest lamb who had lots his MAC, I managed to catch him and fit a new one. All the lambs who are not sporting one of these MACS are looking green with envy. More pics on the way.

Haha they are so cute!! Although I can imagine how difficult it is putting them on-I have the same problem with my dog’s jumper (even though he loves it when he’s finally in it!) 🙂 xx
