From left to right: Zac, Martin, Mateo, Lilly, Lorca & MartinaAs a little treat for our alpacas, we have created a new temporary paddock above the house, which gives them a different outlook and a bit of variety from the lower fields. They absolutely love it when we take them up there and for the first ten minutes they race around like mad things!
As we can get the hosepipe up to this new paddock it gives us the opportunity of spraying them with water, which they really adore especially during the summer months when the temperature can reach 40 degrees plus.
However, they obviously feel more comfortable and safe in their normal paddock as evening approaches, because (as you can see in the photograph) from around 7pm they all congregate at the gate asking to go home for the night!!
Shearing starts this Monday the 8th June, so we should have some interesting photographs to publish soon; so watch this space!!

Very sweet, they are lovely animals aren't they?
BTW, I took a photo at Romeria of Kathy wrestling the horses that started bickering and which nearly upturned the carriage behind them. It's a great shot showing the bulging muscles of the policeman on the other side, and the lady in the carriage frantically climbing down, whilst amid it all Kathy is seen calmly holding the reins of those fierce animals. Email me if you want a copy.
