Happy new year everyone !

Starting the new year with toe nail clipping and vitamins . Should be a good day it's nice to get outside for a while and spend sometime with the alpacas.The wind and rain return this afternoon . Mud mud mud !!!

Great day at the Yorkshire alpaca show.

Thank you to everyone for a  fab day . We had a lovely time ,with Jefferson getting a rosette for second place in the intermediate male light class. With some very good alpacas in attendance we are very proud . It was a great opportunity to learn and meet new people . 

Never had so much fun at six thirty without wine.

Watching the alpacas chasing the wind tonight. They are going wild pronking and kicking their feet. So funny and amazing how fast they can move , especially the little ones . It was dark early ,and much cooler so I was keen to get back to the fire and open the wine, however they are so amusing I stood for ages .

Boys are growing up quickly. Edison is still taking his bottles well, and seems to be making good progress . It's so lovely watching these two characters grow they are ever playfully, and really add cheer to everyday.

Summer 2013 has been lovely. The boys are growing fast and looking really good.We thought we would do some halter training today just to remind them . It went well and the boys walked lovely. The babies are full of energy and bounding around . The weather is changing and the evenings are getting shorter . I seem to be chasing the dark with the last bottle every night.Toe nails are clipped vitamins and closidia vaccinations are all done . So bring on the autumn !! Time to drink red wine instead of chilled white I think !.

Brook Willow Winston looking good at just one hour old !. Easy birth and all is well .

Crias arrived at last .Good and sad times.

Three crias born !!! Twinkle our little girl sadly didn't make it . Despite the best efforts of our vets Intake of Hexham , both David and Euan give a valiant fight ,and went all out to save her ,as did the family, but she was just not viable, a very pretty girl with a lovely fleece, and she is sadly missed.Thanks to Fallowfield for the plasma.
We have two happy healthy boys running around tonight a great sight and I am very grateful . They both are full of life and great fun to watch . Hopefully our luck is turning and these two will be fine .I am sure they will provide hours of entertainment .
