Above: The night the lambs arrived in the ranger's van.
Ah yes, I remember it well.....that is because it was only 2 years ago and my dementia has not progressed as far as some may have suspected. I was already caring for 2 orphaned lambs when fate threw me a curve ball.......
Winter 2009, the fateful night when 17 orphaned lambs were found on the roadside by the local ranger. Now, the ranger made the necessary enquiries of the local farmers: "Are these your lambs?" he asked one and all, to which they all replied "Nope. All my lambs are present and accounted for", which would have been impossible for any of them to know because they each had 1000 or more lambs on their farms at the time. None the less, the thought of saying "Yes, those are my lambs" would not have crossed their minds because ....who in a balanced state of mind wants to be burdened with the chore of feeding 17 orphaned lambs?
