Just an excuse to post a photo of lambs at play

It’s over twelve months since I posted a similar photo to this one but I thought you might like it. We will be in South Australia in a few weeks which is where Vince took this photo. Some lambs were playing on a fallen tree and even one of the ewes was getting in on the act. The little one on the ground had just slipped off but luckily wasn’t hurt. We will be visiting our god-daughter in Adelaide. She and her sister were only baptised when they were just entering their teens so they chose their own god-parents. One chose Vince and the other chose me so they are special people to us. Vince’s god-daughter now has three incredible children. While we are there Vince will give a talk at the school about his visit to Nepal. Another thing for us to look forward to.

All was right with their world. It was a lovely warm day and even the old ewe felt like kicking up her heels.

@JudyEv hopefully the car gets fixed soon, and you have a good trip. Is it some problem with braking or rough start, or some other issue?

It is an honor when we are chosen as godparents. I have necer experienced being a godparent in a wedding. Myabe they thought I will refuse. But it is said that it's bad to rfefuse.

This was at a baptism but it's all much the same.

@sunrisefan This is true but in Western countries sometimes the godparents have little to do with nurturing their godchildren as they grow. We have tried to stay in touch with these girls and they mean a lot to us.

By refusing, you simply do not want to be branded as "old" Ms. LT hehehehe! On serious not, ideally the godparents at baptism of the couple should be the godparents/principal wedding sponsors so they continue as second parents to the couple in the same way that they are second parents at baptism to help the real parents guide the baptized child/children.

I am glad the little one was not hurt. Yesterday I have read about the language glitch of French President Macron . Your Australian leader seems to have a "delicious" wife. He mentally translated from French.

@Bullshark I count to 100 in French and if I'm not asleep by then I count backwards. Then I do the days of the week forward and back and the months. You are SOOOO lucky that just four little sheep do it for you.

They jumped onto the low part then walked on further. It is a bit unusual for lambs I think although goats would love such a playground.

One advantage to being an evil, baby-eating atheist is nobody wants you as a god-parent!!!

@WorDazza Their other god-parents must have brain-washed them but then their marriage broke up so they didn't set a very good example. Gosh, people are strange sometimes, aren't they?
