Table for Two !!

Norris makes a great breakfast table......for the morning carrots !!
What a way to enjoy the day......sunbathing !

The ginger monster....Zonda ....waiting for me......to do my night time chores.....she really gave me quite a shock...when I turned round to go up the steps !!


We have had some gorgeous weather....over the past five days....so nice...if I didn't know any different I'd almost thing Spring had Sprung !!

I have been out with my camera, I have taken some unusual photos !...... over the last few days.....from cats....alpacas....and a big ginger monster !! Who was waiting for me...as I was doing my night time.....chores !

Every morning..I usually give the alpacas some carrots.....and they love their carrots......I have one slight problem....I cannot feed everyone all at the same time...and sometimes, the odd squabble breaks out......Norris is usually in the thick of things....so I have a cunning plan....I use Norris as a breakfast table.....and some of the alpacas...have taken a fancy to eating off the back of Norris......so as I feed Norris on the floor....I put a handful of carrots on his back...and some of the older boys help themselves......then I managed to feed the others.....

Also the cats have been sun bathing...on the little bales of hay that I have put in the shelter that needs to be repaired......I have been using some of this hay I got from my friend..as it is coarser and it is great for the cows and the horses...I'm trying to ration the hay now as there is only eight bales left....and I'm hoping to spread it out until the end of March into April !!

I'm hoping if the weather stays nice and warm the grass will start to grow a little......and the big animals will be able to get some grass.....to graze !

So hope you enjoy the photos....and the goings on......here over the past few days.....

I did a little bit of spinning yesterday.....that I started when Rosemary and Carl visited....well they will be pleased to know....
I have finished...the other bobbin of white....blended the two......washed it......and made it into ......a nice new hat that I knitted up today !!........ I shall be taking a photo...of it soon......so hows that for inspiration !!!!!!!!!

Brilliant! Looking forward to the photo of the hat!

I hope Norris got a bit of carrot - as well as being a table!

A nice tale of domesticity a' la' Zanzibah - you could use Norris for hire as a waiter serving canapes at posh gatheringss!

Love the photos. Norris is a good sport. And the monster is pretty darn cute.

Jayne, You could have put a table cloth on poor Norris! Milder weather here too but not a lot of growth in the grass yet. Take care. Shirley & Robbie
