LAMBING IN LOCKDOWN

What happens when the whole country is in lockdown, but you've no choice but to keep working?
I live next door to working farm, who started the process of lambing around 300 ewes, just a week after the government announced the shutdown. There's no way you can pause or furlough a Lamb being born, so I wanted to document the work of the Senior Family that couldn't wait until the pandemic was over. Katie, the girl holding the lamb, is a teacher by trade and hasn't lived on the farm for years. Before the shutdown kicked in, she moved back and pitched in with the family. It's interesting to see how the vast majority of people's plans have been torn up and how they make sense of their new reality. In this case, it's overly positive and something the family might look back on in years to come and cherish that they were back together.
