It’s spring time and that means it’s time for change! It always amazes me how the world changes almost overnight - when we go from bare trees to tiny green leaves - and before you know it, we’ll be surrounded by colour again. I have to admit, the sweetest time of the year is watching new life appear; little lambs, ducklings and chicks.
Who doesn’t love all this cuteness?
