Little lost lamb, Wyken

Little lost lamb, Wyken

One of the lambs in the field between the main road and the Stratford brook at Wkyen must have gone exploring, had got itself on the wrong side of the fence separating the field from the brook, and couldn’t work out how to get back.

As I paused to look at it, it ran towards me, leading it, fortunately, to the gap in the fence.
