Something I've never experienced before

I ask because I could not believe it. In the picture, your face bears a stunning resemblance to my paternal grandfather, even the glasses. He was only a little corpulent, you are slimmer. But in the face - a moment I was shocked. I've noticed it before on pictures, but never so striking. I hope you have no wooden leg and no glass eye and you do not miss half a lung, else my philosophical world view would be seriously challenged now...

Nice pictures. Looks like a grand outing. Something to remember with fondness for all concerned. The five legged ones look happy enough. Good for them.

As I'm one who want to know I made a search to see how common it is

Here is what I found

Five-legged lambs are extremely rare with only one in a million lambs being born like that. On a farm in the UK's Morpeth, a lamb was born with an extra leg that protruded from its left side

Looks like you and your family had a good day and made some memories.
Awesome.

Always a positive and enjoyable experience when we're out with our only grandchild. She was three on Thursday 26th

All my body parts are still in their original places but I'm now fast approaching 65 years of age and with it that has brought a weight loss of a little over a stone in the previous twelve months

One stone ? A big congratulations, James. Do you feel any better with the weight loss ? A happy belated birthday to your granddaughter as well. No doubt, she is the apple of your eye and I'm sure Ann feels the same way.

That's the one Markus and it was Whitehouse Farm we visited. We had no idea of the lambs existence/locality until we saw it.
