It always amazes me how much the alpaca change colour from birth to adulthood..an alpaca colour is decided by the fleece closest to the skin.. the fleece outside being affected by the sun like human hair is..

Well the Council continues to keep the verges long for the flowers and birthing and mating is starting all over the UK in the alpaca world, including us here in the Cotswolds..

Well June continues with the heat but it must rain soon, the grass needs it and sudden wet only flattens the fields if it comes in torrents when it comes and will make hay making interesting.. meantime enjoy the sunshine

Birthing time is upon us again at Kensmyth. First out of the starting gates and a stunning fawn male..

Welcome June and may you bring good weather please. Shady places for a large dog but do not be fooled – she is only waiting for the baby pigeons to fall out of the nest above so she can eat them – sorry folks this is farming!
