Rosie: The picture above was taken back in September, before the garden and paddocks turned to mud. Now, when we’ve been outside we have to wait a long time in the kitchen, before our paws are clean and dry and we can sit somewhere more comfortable.

The Alpacas all had their vitamin injections the other week and we are now waiting for some of the girls to be scanned to see how many babies we can expect this year. I can’t believe how big the 2011 cria have become – it must be all the food they eat!

We saw a Snowdrop today (the flower not the alpaca) and despite it being very windy, the sun is shining so hopefully spring is on the way!
