Cherry Blossom & Cuckoo

Hi this is a short blog post today, we are having some super weather the alpacas are loving it, sunning themselves.

This morning I heard the cuckoo for the first time this year.

The white cherry tree is gloriously covered in masses of flowers, out in time for Cassius's birthday, 11th April. I have some lovely photos of him as a cria with the cherry blossom in the background.

Just look at that blue sky.

And a close up of the super scented blossom

The rape seed flowers are starting to show, the blackthorn is blossoming and the bluebells are just peeping out, bumble bees and butterflies are about. Such an exciting time of the year.

And finally, two young males, enjoying the day.

Brave on the left and Terracotta on the right.

Off to get my dinner. See you soon.

Sunny January Day

Hi, today is such a lovely sunny day. Tuesday, muddy underfoot, we were alpaca toe nail trimming, today would have been so much better. The alpacas are happy though.

Here are some photos of our happy alpacas in the sunshine

First a group pose of mums and babies
I think that the babies were trying to hide, they are there, in the middle of the photo.

This is a photo of Rococo and her son, Sunset's Terracotta

Finally, today, a photo of my bottle fed baby alpaca, Kashmir. He was born on Indian Independance Day.
