already!

the first lambs only went in on the 3rd - they were "spronking" already by the time I came back up through the village - and now they're on the stone!

Well spotted and captured Annie-Sue it’s definitely spring in Cumbria then:)

[Judith Johnson]

Spronking, that's a new word. I guess I should use my imagination!

[narayani]

Spronking sounds fun! Such a sweet sight

[JackieR]

Is spronking the same as gambolling?

[Annie-Sue]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond yes - also called stotting

[Annie-Sue]

@beverley365 I regularly follow their progrsss!

[Annie-Sue]

@pcoulson can't deny it now!

[Annie-Sue]

@busylady I adopted it from abroad! It's when they jump all four feet off the ground and twist in the air!

[Annie-Sue]

Had to look up “sponking”. Great term.

@corinnec more to come today!

@illinilass as soon as I first heard it, I adopted it - seems a much more energetic word than gambolling :-)
