WITH Greenmeadow Community Farm set to reopen to the public this weekend, there are six special new arrivals for visitors to see.
On Sunday evening, two sets of twin Coloured Ryeland lambs joined the flock.
The three ram lambs and one ewe lamb were helped into the world by members of the farm team Kirsty and Jack.

Nell was assisted by farm team member Kirsty to ensure the kids had a safe entrance to the world.
These lambs and kids are just the latest new arrivals at the farm over the winter period, with even more expected to be born in the next few weeks.
