Hay and tractors

As I sit in the office trying to catch up with paperwork, that the sun is mocking me and is shining warmly, letting me know that most of the hay is still sitting in the field. It was looking good for this weekend as the weather is meant to stay warm with maybe a shower on Thursday, but it would be possible to get it all in at the weekend as we have a few extra bodies staying! Guess what the tractor and trailer are not available!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am now trying to persuade a few visitors to come early and give us a hand on Thursday/Friday.

On a more positive note I have seen some of our processed fibre and it is beautiful and will ready in the next few days for knitting up or selling as duvets, pillows and throws. Very exciting. I have to say it is even tempting me start knitting myself, long winter nights coming up.

Mind you at the moment I have got to make chutney with the glut of courgettes i seem to have, they are taking over, off out today t oget more onions and jar seals - guess what everyone will be getting for Christmas this year?

The photo is George our only little boy - he is about one week old in this picture and is great fun now he has grown a little more confident and worked out that his Mum does not like to feed him when she is eating - he doesn't keep getting kicked off!

Fame at last

If you look at this programme aired today on BBC One it will show our land and some of the past alpaca residents. you may even spot a very Inky amongst the herd. I got a phone to watch and have to say we are rather over excited about especially as it give a little add for alpaca fibre and why everyone should be using it!
