EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print captured by George Greenwell in December 1953, we are transported to Rye House Farm in Otford, Kent, where the joyous arrival of Christmas lambs fills the air. As winter embraces the land, these adorable creatures bring warmth and delight to all who encounter them. With three lambs already born and more expected before Christmas, anticipation hangs in the crisp winter breeze. Amongst those eagerly awaiting their arrival is Master Richard Wickens, a spirited three-year-old boy and son of the shepherd. His face radiates pure joy as he cradles and pets these precious newborns throughout the day. The image showcases not only the beauty of nature but also highlights a cherished moment from childhood. The innocence and wonderment on young Richard's face serve as a reminder of how simple joys can be found amidst life's daily routines. As we observe this scene unfold against a backdrop of Dorset horns grazing peacefully nearby, it becomes evident that farming is not just about tending to animals; it is about nurturing connections between humans and nature itself. George Greenwell's photograph encapsulates both the spirit of Christmas and the timeless bond between man and animal. It serves as a gentle reminder that even during cold winter months, love and new beginnings flourish on farms like Rye House Farm in Otford – forever etching memories into our hearts.
