A VERY special delivery took place at the weekend when some of the first lambs of the year were born.
The twins, whose mother is a Jacob ewe, were born at about 6am on Sunday at Rosehouse Farm, Redmarshall, near Stockton, Teesside.
Jean Fawell, who lives at the farm, said: "It is not that unusual for lambs to be born this early. We have had them born at Christmas before.
"It is a nice thing to happen though and they are special."
The lambs are being kept in the farm's barn to protect them from a fox that roams around.
