I t was in 1988 when the fi rst seedlings of Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary were sown. I had heard about a very poorly new-born lamb at a local farm close by where I lived in Hertfordshire. The lamb wasn’t expected to survive, so I asked the farmer if I could adopt him. The farmer agreed. Naming him Larry, I took him home to hand rear. Larry was my fi rst success, but he certainly wasn’t the last. Next came premature lamb triplets, who I named the Didley family. All three had to be syringe fed every few hours, and just like Larry they thrived.
