Newbury show 2015 Alpaca and Llama …

Did I miss the Alpaca this year at Newbury or does my eyesight need testing?

nope – these were definitely LLama although I think the last one of them might just be a Suri?

Newbury show 2015 and Cotswold Sheep

Newbury Show has long been one of our favourites for exhibiting at:

help for heroes newbury stand

but this year we just managed time out in September to visit. Nice to leave the boys looking after the Alpaca herd and take a look at my favourites the Cotswold Sheep… and their woolly friends, some amazing breeds to be seen

Kensmyth Stud on Facebook – finally and walnuts to you too !

well I finally gave in. You all thought I had been quiet and something was wrong (amazing how when you go quiet you cannot simply be busy) but the reality was we have been hectic, been making diarised visits for next years plans and normal farming life AND… I have been trying to get to grips with Facebook.

So – all posts are now too on KENSMYTH STUD on Facebook. for those of you who follow Facebook rather than click on websites.

A long time coming for us but priority is always the Alpaca and farm before learning new technologies -but we made it!

meantime we have also been blackberry picking, apple picking and… wait for it Walnuts!

walnuts WEB

look like conkers really don’t they? nope, that is how a walnut comes out folks!

 

September out like a lion and October rays are in!

Fantastic September sunsets here at Kensmyth and the cold October has yet to arrive…

SUNSET WEB

the alpaca have enjoyed the sun during the day but we have still started ADE for all

fantastic september WEB skies

and the hot tub has been popular still too – great value when you consider what most folk spend on holidays in the sun!
