LAMBS

Did you watch Lambing Live on BBC2 last week? We did and just loved the programme. Although The Malthouse is in Alton in the heart of the Staffordshire countryside and there are lots of farms round about we know very little about farming. What a joy this programme was to watch, isn't Kate Humble a great presenter!



This week we have noticed that there are lambs in a field on the opposite side of the valley from us. We can hear them as well as see them! We are busy making the final preparations at our bed and breakfast ready for guests who are arriving this weekend. Alton Towers opens on 20 March 2010 for their main season. Every time we take a break from making up beds we pop outside with a coffee to take a look at the Lambs. We can't help ourselves we have to get a fix now that lambing live has finished!



Of course we have our very own lamb here. Her name is Siobhan and just to prove we're not telling porkies, here is her picture.




She travels everywhere with us. This photo was taken on her latest holiday. We went out collecting shells and she stayed at the hotel resting! When we got back she insisted on having her photo taken with our finds!
