So after some discussion with the neighbours it has been decided that the lambs are old enough to be outside all the time (Well, I suspect if it got really cold they might get brought in..........).
So a new, larger pan was constructed in bit of the garden that is sheltered by a wall from Easterly winds ( cold, which we have at the moment) , and by the hill from prevailing westerlies, and as there is a big bush in the middle , northerlies and southerlies should be OK . Yes , in know that Boreray are hardy and in the wild would be out in all weathers, but nevertheless.............) .

So their new surroundings are bit more spacious than the old ones.

And a bit more space to run around - the current game seems to be racing each other round the bush, before grazing on its leaves.

I thought sheep were supposed to eat grass. And then there is drinking 1.5 L of milk each per day , and collapsing exhausted in the sun.
