well shearing is ahead in May and we are hoping for decent weather.

In 2009 we had to go out and buy coats in a hurry as this is what happened then…

“4th to 10th: The unsettled theme continued, with low pressure dominant, bringing windy conditions and frequent outbreaks or longer spells of rain. A set of fronts progressed southwards during the night of the 4th, but southern England stayed largely dry and clear with –1.0 °C recorded at Benson (Oxfordshire). Outbreaks of rain continued on the 5th, with strong gusty south-westerly winds, although bright or sunny spells developed further south.”

yes – that did read -1 degrees on 4th May 2009 … here’s what we did!

off to the start!

lets hope for better weather in May this year.

and again – these boys are so well behaved for their “selfies”

well it has been a little while since we blogged last… we have been very busy with exciting overseas and long distance visitors.

most of whom have fallen in love with the cria – the first to have been born last year.

How could you not fall in love on a sunny day with these beauties?

is it me or did it feel like November today?

Managed to finish all ADE jabs started over the week end.

I have a new system for my stud boys and can now do them by myself.

sounds simple but actually it is not that easy to hold a 14 stone Alpaca and inject it at the same time. Try it before you josh please!

it has drizzily rained all day but not that cold – the good news is that Spring is just around the corner, rather than November, when winter is!
