Retta
George asked for a photo of the my garden lamb. When I return to returned to base, most days my little friend sheltering from the wind. I've called him "Retta" which sounds faintly Norse (they has a big influence here). It's short for Lambretta, a reminder of my days when I was a nipper into scooters.

Love the title Alan! There is so much to enjoy in this shot, the lovely colours and textures in the stones and thatch and then of course there's shy little Retta, doing a quick check to see if you've got a jar of mint sauce with you before venturing out. Hmm, those three lumps of rock hanging over the door don't look none too safe. I think when you see this on the Mac you will find that it needs a touch more sharpening Alan cos it looks as though there is a slight touch of camera shake, just enough to take the edge off but nonetheless, its a lovely shot and thanks for indulging us - should all else fail you have at least got one of your 'holiday animal shots' in the bag!

Glad to see he turned up, and he looks so cute, I presume the rocks on the roof are to hold the thatch down but they do look a bit dodgy.
Some tweaks mentioned by Keith but none the less a fun shot of Retta, possibly Retta might have chosen Harley for a Christian name if given the choice.

Lamb Retta didn't sink in at first, always a bit slow me
So you were a Mod in your youth Alan
Great shot, thanks for indulging me.

What a fabulous wall! and a little lamb with a cute little expression .. Agree with the others about the rocks on the roof - I'd prob use them for security - have a lever inside that released all the rocks if I didn't like the look of my callers! - Great shot Alan!

Thank you all for your comments. Just an update on this: my fears about him being on his own were unfounded. I came back yesterday evening and he was in the garden with presumably his sibling and mum (I guess) was outside of the fence. Later, I saw the three of them heading up "my " hill to enjoy the bracing air and I'm sure Retta looked at me as he went by and gave a little bleat.
