April Fools

So, April Fool's Day has dawned - and for the first time in  years I haven't played a trick on anyone.  Don't know why - I've always been very keen in the past - probably all the dust and chaos in the house from the building work distracted me.  I always catch Jonathan out with lame things like the sheep are out, or DEFRA are coming to do an inspection.  Then the time I woke Victoria up with "Your piano teacher is downstairs waiting for you" - she leapt out of bed and started dressing and when I said "April Fool" she burst out crying.  Then when I asked my mum if she'd seen the Queen and Prince Philip coming down the canal outside her house on the royal barge was particularly good - she couldn't believe she'd missed them.  Then when my nephew was little and I phoned and said a lion was loose in their village and they had to go and look.  Joe went, came back to the phone and when I said 'April Fool' he said that actually he'd seen the lion.

Anyway, the joke was on me today.  Lambing started nice and promptly but I couldn't believe my eyes when I came in from the workshop

How can I possibly have a lamb to feed on the first day?  Apparently her mum wasn't interested and only had enough milk for her twin anyway.  So the work starts again.....she is rather sweet though.
