Happy New Year 2011

I know it is late but this is the first blog of the new year.

Since we last posted our direction has changed and we are in the process of being set up as a charity called A Change of Scene for Children, as those of you who have looked at the website will have seen. Therefore we have been rather preoccupied with registering as a company and a charity, which is nearly done, and now look forward to having lots of young visitors to make a fuss of us, so we can help them feel better about themselves. A win win situation!

Of course Christmas and New Year were in the middle of this and great fun was had by all, with lots of new people visiting us alpacas, making it a little more interesting than just sitting in the shed out of the snow and ice all day. What a winter!!! Almost like being in Peru with our relatives! Still it certainly feels as though the weather is picking up and there are signs that movement is happening in the garden with preparation work for veg planting.

Fund raising seems to be taking over the time and applications have been made to a couple of trusts and the round of club talks is starting, not that we go we send the humans to do that sort of thing.

Our first referral visited this week and it was lovely to think that in just 3 months, we decided in September to go for this, (I have discounted December) we have actually started.

All the young alpacas, Fleur, Dameli, and George have grown enormous already, and are very excited about having visitors and we look forward to increasing our stock levels with a few more animals in the coming months. We do enjoy company.

If anyone knows of any animals needing a home please let us know via the contact page or on facebook page A Change of Scene for Children- Lincolnshire. Better not have any more dogs though, our lot get so jealous.

I think the humans try to keep up to date with the face book page but I promise to update the blog more regularly now - new year's resolution!

National Nest Box Week starts on 14th February, what a lovely Valentine present to give the love of our life, a nest box to put up in the garden and be able to watch a whole new love story unfold between our feathered friends this spring.

Bye for now just seen a patch of grass I haven't tried yet so ..........
