Lambing Live

You know you've been in England too long, when the following happens:  On BBC2 each night this week-and this week only-is a show called 'Lambing Live.'  The show is following a farming family in Wales this week as their ewes give birth to the spring lambs (lambing), and sometimes live on the program.

Now, the first time I stumbled across the show on Monday, I watched for 20 minutes, and thought...ok.  Definitely not something I'd see in the States.  Tuesday at 8pm came, and as I was looking at the program guide, I thought....ok.  maybe worth watching again.  No live births on Monday, maybe something tonite.  And, the little lambs were cute.

But, last night takes the cake:  I actually made a point of going to BBC2 at 8pm to watch the show again!

I have definitely been in England too long.  I'd love to embed a video in my blog to show, but I don't konw how to do that (if anyone knows how, please let me know!)  So, I'll just have to go old school with a link:

    Rats! iPlayer won't let me watch it:-(
    Surely there must be a market for a show like that on one of the bazillions of cable channels in the US?
    I used to like watching One Man and His Dog. Can't find it on You Tube, but this is a close equivalent.

    Hey lady! Been reading your posts cause I'm searching for some info...
    I've been offered a job in the UK by my current employer. Hoping for the expat package, rather than local hire. Was wondering if you had an update on those numbers/expenses? I think the last I saw was 08. Curious, as I should be receiving an official offer next week and want to be prepared to negotiate!! Thanks darlin! Boston chick

    I thought I was the only one in all of England watching this! Last night when the little lambs were born I was riveted. Have you watched Country Home Rescue - another fabulous show. I finally arrived a month ago - we should go and have a drink!
