This was how farmer Marian Burgess brought the best out of a frozen spring lamb
This was how farmer Marian Burgess brought the best out of a frozen spring lamb. She popped it in the oven at low heat and left it to thaw out gently overnight. Next morning the lamb was " as good as new and ready for the fields rather than the dinner table. Marian had found the youngster, named Lucky, during wintry weather on her farm at Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we witness the incredible bond between farmer Marian Burgess and a frozen spring lamb named Lucky. Captured in July 1983 on her farm in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire, Marian's nurturing spirit shines through as she goes above and beyond to save Lucky's life. With winter weather taking its toll on the young lamb, Marian knew she had to act fast. She carefully placed Lucky in her oven at low heat, allowing him to thaw out slowly overnight. The next morning brought an astonishing sight - Lucky was as good as new! His once-frozen body now radiated with warmth and vitality. Marian's dedication not only saved Lucky from certain demise but also forged a unique friendship that transcended traditional farming practices. Instead of sending him off to the dinner table like most farmers would have done, Marian recognized his resilience and decided he deserved a chance at freedom. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but admire the compassion emanating from both Marian and Lucky. Their connection reminds us of the profound impact humans can have on animals' lives when kindness prevails over conventionality. This photograph is a testament to the power of love and care within unexpected circumstances. It serves as a timeless reminder that sometimes all it takes is one person's unwavering belief in another being for miracles to unfold before our eyes.
