was surprised to see a bunch of little lambs and moms in winter, but our winter has been unusually warm, so I guess the farmer was getting a head start on spring. they were so cute to see frolicking around and I also saw to just birthed babies.

St John the Baptist Church is a parish church in Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. It is dedicated to St John the Baptist. The church was rebuilt in Gothic Revival style in 1822. It is the civic church of Windsor, and many Mayors of Windsor are buried in the church and churchyard. The church is Grade II* listed. Two of the three Protestant Windsor Martyrs, who were burnt at the stake in 1543, were associated with the church.
The new church was built in 1820–22 to a design by Charles Hollis, with Jeffry Wyatt (who would later change his name to Wyatville) acting as a consultant. It was built of large blocks of fine ashlar, with cast-iron quatrefoil columns. The nave and aisles are spanned by cast-iron trusses. Hollis's floorplan followed the outline of the old church, and many monuments and features were retained. There is a west tower with flanking vestibules, of four stages including clock and belfry stages. The body of the original Hollis church is a six-bay nave and aisles; the interior has plastered walls
Above the west gallery is a large painting of the Last Supper, presented to the church by George III in 1788, having previously been an altarpiece in St George's Chapel. It was installed as an altarpiece in the old church, and again in the new church, but after Teulon's erection of a circular chancel apse in 1870, it was removed to the west wall, where it remains.[ The painting, which is attributed to Francis Cleyn, was restored in 2003
