well if you have a paddock hoover you will know the hoses freeze. old duvets are just the ticket!!

cosy enough and stops the plastic snapping…

wow how did that happen? December well on its way and hay rounds imperative…

someone asked me recently how I get my hay to the Alpaca… well my answer was “shanks pony”… can you guess?

and is rejected by many and fallen upon by some…

busy with farm planning for the future and next year is going to be just so exciting. love the cold, hate the wet…

meantime some practical winter jobs needed…

hedge trimming

lovely colours in the hedgerows…

and getting ready in the outdoor shelters for the mud that will surely come… rubber mats!!

well crazy busy here as usual. whole herd check, toenails, weighing and fleece inspection took two whole days when doing it yourself! Really pleased with the results and I am seriously considering breaking out and entering four for the National next year!

The dry spell is helping the squishy mud dry out and the frost due tonight hardens the ground for moving hurdles around.

shame about the water freezing though…

meantime more of the Autumn cheer in our new collections…

December 1st wow – so much has happened recently… its been very busy as usual. We have had many clients and visitors but we have also been preparing the Alpaca Winter Collection and taking shots from a variety of different locations on site.

That’s photos and there are some really fun times when you have models to work with instead of mannequins…

introducing the slouch beanie in its natural habitat…

well – that’s versatile warm and durable Alpaca for you…
