the lambing

I know, sounds creepy. But "lambings" are actually traditional events around Easter when the general public is invited to come see the local farm animals, particularly the lambs (well, that's my working knowledge understanding of them anyway). As strange and foreign as the idea of going to something called a lambing was to me, the weekend of Easter I so bravely and curiously accompanied one of my trusted English compadres to one in Greenwich. It was a sort of low key family event and I was bored after ten minutes (just kidding-not really), but the lambs were SOOO CUTE (see below). As someone who's mostly vegetarian (ok, I do eat seafood now and again), I was a little frightened and turned off by the spray painted numbers on the lambs stomachs thinking they represent in which order the little lambies are to be slaughtered for meals at fancy restaurants in W London where posh ASSHOLES will so ignorantly devour... (I'm calm, everything's fine). Anyway, I never found out for sure what the spray paint is actually about. Maybe just to keep track of them if any run off or something.-Let's hope. Either way, I present...the lambing:






PS: Another English friend of mine, Ollie, travels often to NYC for business and was telling me a few weeks ago that it is very American to call things "CUTE".-He apparently runs into it a lot at work while in NY...I've realised since he mentioned it I say "Cute" ALL THE TIME (and said it above about the lambs)...which I guess makes me still American yay!-even though I've started saying "scenario" the British way ahh! Anyway, have a I told you you're cute today?
