SPRING was in full swing at the weekend as families flocked to Hanbury to see the season's newest arrivals.

Great Lodge Farm held an open lambing weekend on Saturday and Sunday (March 23) to give visitors the chance to join in with the joys of spring.

And farm owners David and Diane Brian served bacon butties and hot drinks to keep the spectators nourished in between arrivals.

"Two cows also gave birth last week so there were some cuddly calves around for everyone to enjoy," said Diane.

The farm, which is situated off the B409, held a similar event three years ago before the outbreak of foot and mouth.

"About 400 people turned out that weekend, even though it was pouring down with rain," added Diane.

"We think there will be even more than that this year."
