Rain might have stopped play temporarily at Wimbledon this
afternoon, but that wasn’t the case here at Fallowfield as far as our crias
were concerned. The three of them were
full of beans despite the weather.
However, I am beginning to suspect that our long, hard winter is
responsible for the extended pregnancies and late births amongst our females.
Isadora is still waiting to give birth, but is pretty
chilled out and not going to be disturbed by three crias.
The weather here today is not only wet, but pretty, darned
chilly. I actually lit the fire this
afternoon in the sitting room used by our Bed and Breakfast guests. Despite it being Wimbledon week, I only had
tea and home-made fruit cake for our visitors – no Pimms or strawberries. Mind you, given the weather here, I think
that a hot toddy might have been more appropriate, but needless to say they
didn’t get that either!
I’m beginning to think that it is time that I varied my
home-made cakes. I think we all have our
favourites and those that are really “failsafe”, but as I bake a lot, I think
that I would enjoy a change so it is out with the cookery books this weekend.
I’m giving myself a pat on the back this evening, as I have
not only been hugely domesticated today, but I have also sent off all of our alpaca
fleece samples to be tested at WTA Europe in Wales – not to mention a zillion
other jobs that I have got done today.
As always I am really looking forward to getting the fleece test results
– I’m especially excited about our 2012 crias.
Will keep you posted!
Melanie, your photography is excellent. Love the crias........Anja
ReplyDeleteThanks Anja - high praise indeed from such a good photographer as yourself. Actually, I take a lot of photographs just with my I-pad as its usually handy and less complicated than Mike's camera. Amazing what good shots you can get.
