We have been out twice in the last three weeks, both exceptionally enjoyable and needing to recommend great Pubs to our Clients here are two:

The Greyhound at Siddington

and the Harrow at Wanborough

When your Alpaca run in all directions heavily pregnant as a Chinook flies over at less than 100ft – its pretty scary.

when it continues to do this for two hours circling lower and lower over your barns and homestead…

see what YOU think as to how low it flew…

but apparently that’s perfectly okay – thank goodness no horses were on the road at the time!

well we have been crazy busy with harrowing, fertilising, pregnancy final checks and some really low helicopters flying over – more on that next time.

in the meantime, I managed to read a few books and as I barely read anything other than Alpaca books or Curly Coated Retriever books, I thought I would recommend them as they are not my usually literary style…

I did not get on with “girl on a train” but Try not to breathe is a good read if you are not faint hearted.

Coffin Road is an excellent read for anyone and extremely thought provoking about where we are in the world today versus some natural lifestyle choices. With murder and mayhem – I really could not put it down. Well, it did take three months to read as I do not have much reading time but when I got the chance, I could not put it down.

in case you missed it… here he is again!

We have been extremely busy bunnies lately and can now launch the Alpaca Booties properly – a BIG THANK YOU – to everyone involved in this, especially the beautiful babies…

Birthdays and celebrations in many homes over Easter and amongst our friends.

So lovely to receive this lovely bouquet myself too….

well with the Easter holidays meaning two lanky lads need feeding, what better than the lean mean cuisine provided at home by the super food Yak. many of you will know I am keen on trying different meats that are home produced where the animal has led an outdoor “normal” life and the Yak is one of our favourite meats from friends “oop North”. lean, tasty mince having no fat content… see for yourself!

until you make a fab lasagne…

Well busy is not the word and we launched our new product range at the Corn Hall over Easter…

weather over the last week has been challenging to say the least. thank goodness we invested in Field shelters that don’t blow over in gale force winds as some of our farming friends have done across the countryside nationally!

one of the benefits of the drainpipe off ground system we use to keep feed spread (so you can observe all livestock feeding and what amounts) and off the ground, is that they are also installed inside the field shelters taking very little room…

which whilst this shot was taken when sunny, the weather here was, um, interesting for frogs!

if you cannot read it we had 50 – 70mm of rain overnight !

with anniversaries and birthdays happening almost every day at the moment, I was delighted to receive a gift of a silver cruet … not an Alpaca but a Llama but marvellous… fits in your palm of your hand…

thank you Mum and Dad – I really love it!!
