A Val Doonican moment

06/11/2009 by Rosemary.

Strange, this morning, the cria pronked happily and hummed around me obviously at one with the ancient mystic lay lines only they were in tune with (or it could have been the feed bucket I had in the trailer!).  As I watched from my rocking chair my mind wandered to the magical properties of an alpaca cardigan . . .

Ignore that last paragraph, I obviously was feeling a little unwell still, or maybe I had overdosed on ITV i-player!  Anyway, my alpaca fleece is obviously not cardigan quality by the look of some samples but that is another story.

Thank you for the concern over my illness, I think I am relatively back to normal now.  I will not bore you with the details but it was most strange, like an iron band tightening around my stomach.  The good thing was I could not eat but it may have been the result of the large quantity of apple and blackberry I ate earlier.

The eartags and microchips arrived today so I can finally register my cria.  Carl will be applying the eartags as that is one thing I really do not like doing.

Tomorrow is Lina day and Carl and Sam are out now, working by the light of the Daihatsu headlights, finishing the fencing on the new paddock.
