Overalls

Never mind Felicity Kendal and her Falmer Jeanius dungarees in The Good Life or Meryl Streep and her Lee Coopers in Mamma Mia the movie, this is the reality. Free painting overalls from the local hardware shop available only in 'portly' and re-tailored at home. Two bottles of milk four times a day for two very hungry little lambs. For two of the feeds Spouseman joins me and we both kneel on the floor of the sheep-shed holding the mother in a lock so she can't kick the little uns while they steal milk she is unwilling to let them have. It's a messy business.
