Description
Summary:In central Scotland near Loch Lomond, Bobby and Anne must gather their pregnant ewes from the hills ready for lambing, and all the family help out. Bobby's father's 90th birthday is looming and thoughts turn to who will run the farm when it is time to hand it on to the next generation. East of Inverness, Mel and Martin move into an onsite caravan in the lambing shed to deal with the imminent arrival of hundreds of lambs - but as lambing begins, the weather brings unseasonal snow. It's an exhausting time with Mel spending several hours a day bottle-feeding the orphan lambs. As Easter approaches on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Sandy makes tweed curtains for their holiday let and Ali cooks Easter buns. All the kids have Easter-egg hunts - but celebrations are cut short for the Lennoxes when an unexpected tragedy hits the family. Martin prepares for his upcoming wedding and Mel tries to save the life of a desperately weak lamb.
