Lambs herald Spring's arrival
LAMBKIN Dallu is the dazzling first of this year's rare breed Cotswold sheep in Nailsworth.
She was born to one of town mayor Norman Kay and his wife Kate's flock.

Dallu, which means dazzling in Welsh, might well go on to be a champion like some of her five-year-old mum Taldur's previous seasons' offspring.
"I was up all night, eventually called the vet and than Dallu arrived quite easily," said Norman.
The couple have been keeping rare Cotswold sheep for almost 30 years.
They are expecting another four lambs.
Cotswolds were brought to Britain by the Romans and provide the 'golden fleece' on which Stroud's textile wealth was based.
