All the ladies love a lamb…

All the ladies love a lamb…

Forget introduction agencies, adverts in the personal column, and blind dates, my husband has perfected his own instantaneous "babe magnet". Like him, all you need is a lamb small enough to tuck under your arm, and a visit to the vet at surgery time. The entire assembly of females flocked to his side surrounding him in their endeavour to find out the lambs story. (Fortunately the visit had a happy outcome for the lamb, who had been temporarily trapped under an upturned hay rack – some bruising which will heal.) Tony is convinced that his ladies were seconds away from starting up an emergency fund or offering to adopt them both. Unfortunately, he is already spoken for, but is willing to give lessons, or loan out one of this years bottle lambs.
