The Two Amigos

I realise that my blogging has been a bit hit and miss of late. This is because I like to have photos...in fact most of the time the photos do the talking. However, the wet weather has been making photography a bit of a challenge...but not today...there is something up in the sky that is shining...it is warm...I can't quite remember what its called...but the alpacas are loving it.

 So the camera has been out....

Despite the lack of sun on their backs, the yearlings have really had a growth spurt since getting clipped. I think that we will be mating most of them this year...

Beck Brow Snooty Boots looking all grown up...as Waradene St Patrickof EPC is her daddy...who shall she be mated to?

The exception will be Easter-Wood Adelle...not because she isn't big enough...but something makes me think that she just might not be mature enough...

 

Easter-Wood Metisha with Easter-Wood Adelle (she was weaned and Metisha doesn't have milk she just plays about on the teats!)

Pebbles has now fully adopted Bendrago (who was Ben then went to Benjamin and is now Bendrago) The change in name is because I call him and Pedro the Two Amigos...

Pebbles, Pedro and Bendrago

 

Ahhh....

  

Beck Brow Pedro...doing very well on shared rations!

Paul has had a week off work, but despite having a number of girls due, he hasn't seen a birth. Mind you it has rained all week. He has spent his time putting up new guttering on the barn as the old system wasn't coping with the down pours...what a way to spent your summer hols!

 Biba not due quite yet but bulging at the ready

Cambridge Camilla who has looked like she was going to birth for two weeks now!

The photos would have been better if I had put on the filter lens...but I forgot it and didn't have the energy to walk back. My poor old body aches all over (I haven't felt like this since I used to do aerobics...and when I last did aerobics people wore fluorescent lycra...so a decade or two ago). I have just completed the Advanced Life Support course...so why am I aching?...days of CPR (I know it looks easy on Holby City, but believe me it's hard work). Well that's it passed and valid for another four years.

Paul is off watching England play Australia at Durham, so I think I will just enjoy the sun and rest the aches and pains!
