Our accommodation is situated on a working farm and the log cabin is fully accessible. It is currently lambing time and the young farmer and his brother are working round the clock shifts making sure the ewes are OK. They are expecting 250 lambs and so far 50 have been delivered. Pip even saw one of the Ewes deliver twins! Our accommodation is opposite the multiple births maternity wing :-)
Gloucester city centre was incredibly busy so we were unable to visit the Regiment museum as per previous visits. However we did manage to visit Hubble Bubble which was appreciated by all :-) Uncle Andy then took the kids in search of an outdoor shop whilst Dave and I popped in to Gloucester Cathedral (and we thought about the sad state of Notre Dame) and I visited nearby wool shop to buy some sock yarn to commemorate the visit.
Here are some pictures of the visit thus far:

Oh I'm so sorry you've not got your uncle mike with you in body any longer {{hugs}}
How marvelous to be able to get away on a bit of a holiday — that lamb is precious!

Thank you for your kind words regarding Uncle Mike.
It was lovely to be away even though my health took a battering! Pip really enjoyed feeding the lambs x
I'm sorry about your Uncle. I hope that it wasn't too difficult an end for him.
What a lovely place to be visiting. I LOVE the lambs- so cute and sweet and young!!!
He had been quite poorly since last summer that is one of the reasons why we didn't get to see him, plus I was so unwell at the time also. He missed Auntie Sallie greatly, she died in 2013 and although he had a very full social life it wasn't the same without her. Pip absolutely loved feeding the lamb and was fascinated watching the sheep give birth, maybe a future vet, shepherdess or Farmer!
