Farmlife Framed: Lambing, low temperatures and little farmers

One of the highlights of the farming year, lambing season is a challenging but joy-filled time for Britain’s farmers.

As lambing 2019 gathers pace, our amazing readers have been sharing their heart-warming moments with us.

Away from the lambing shed, you’ve been sending in some super-cute snaps of your little farmers too.

The weather has taken a turn for the chilly, so we’re also sharing reader photos of frosty farm scenes.
