CHRISTMAS has come early for one county family with the arrival of these two lambs.

Isobel and Billy Hoare keep around 20 sheep on their land in Garway.

And although lambs are usually born in spring, these two arrived a couple of months early due to a lack of space.

"This is the earliest we have had them – in December – but only because we have had the ram in there because of lack of space of keeping them anywhere else," said Isobel.

"It's certainly an early Christmas present – the grandchildren love them."

The couple – who also keep chickens – expect more lambs to be born at the end of February.
