We are very lucky in our area to have one of the best haylage producers around and yesterday afternoon we paid them a visit.

Its been a while since we’ve seen Oliver and so we had a good catch up on all his news and then got down to the serious business of discussing haylage and what would be the best to feed to our alpacas.

You would think haylage was haylage but we found out yesterday that was not so and ...

That’s Easter over with can we have our heat wave now please! 🙂  Mind after all those Easter eggs will I be able to fit into my shorts, I doubt it.

We’ve had a very busy four days here on the farm and I can’t remember what we did on any of the days specifically as they all passed in such a whirl wind of activity.

On top of all the usual chores, we managed to get five acres of paddocks chain ...

I was going to do ” we’re having a heat wave” blog today as an April Fool joke, but have decided it’s just not funny 🙁 So instead the Alpaca’s and I will  just wish you all a happy April Fool’s day and if any of you have been caught out with something funny please share! Life is just too short not to share laughter!

Happy Easter everyone, I hope your all having a good weekend!

I also hope everyone remembered to put their clocks forward an hour last night. British Summer time begins, well the extra hours of daylight says it summer time, unfortunately the heavy frost I woke up to this morning tells a different story, but at least it’s dry and we’ve had no more snow or rain here.

Earlier this week I had a conversation with my mom about Easter and told her ...

Today for a change, I had to many titles to choose from for my blog and so I will share a few with you and you can decide for your self what the title should have been.

Dinner Date, Young Love, Love is in the Air, Manipulative Females or maybe just How Sweet? The list could go on and I’m sure you could think of much better.

To make an informed decision I will have to describe what I witness today in ...

I’m a bit late writing my blog today, Neil being home on a Friday has thrown me a bit. I’m getting as bad as the alpacas, change my routine and and I don’t seem to know where I’m supposed to be 🙂

He’s home today as it’s good Friday, as I’m sure you are all aware and the lovely man has done all my farm chores for me, how sweet is that? much better than an Easter egg any day of ...

I thought today that I ought to have a rummage, not through fleeces one of my favourite jobs, but through my previous blogs.  Why you ask?  Well there is a reason, being dyslexic has its advantages although having a poor short term memory I’ve forgotten what those advantages are :0))

It also has lots of disadvantages i.e. short term memory issues.  I have to say though that by the time you get to my age coping strategies are second nature and ...

Oh what a day! It began as usual with my morning cup of coffee and a quick browse through my emails, no problems there.  A peak out of the window to check what the weather had in store for us today, no nasty snowy surprises waiting for us there, in fact although it was cold at least the sun was making its presence known for a change.

So coffee finished and ready to face the world, with the alpacas breakfast in ...
