Some of the Westhill girls..on the hill......
Some of the boys.......
Walking over to meet the alpacas.......
Its hard to imagine..that only a week ago I was on my holidays.....there has been lots of changes and lots of work gone on over the past week !!
Back to my holidays..... I went to visit Rosemary, Carl and Sam from Westhill Alpacas in Dorset ! I had a wonderful day, it was a lovely sunny afternoon. I arrived mid morning after a lovely drive through the quaint villages, those beautiful ones you imagine in your head....I had forgotten just how beautiful these are...after all I do live in Scotland....the landscape is completely different !!
I was introduced to Sams sheep and the new lambs......I helped feed one and we had a lovely walk round the fields admiring the scenery. It was a short ride round to see the Alpacas, obviously I meet Greeves..he is lovely....so sweet....I just had to have a cuddle....Rosemary and Sam caught him for me...he just had been sheared and looked great, its lovely to see him doing so well after his difficult start in life.
Then it was back to the house for a bite to eat.....baked for the occasion was a salmon quiche which was delicious, closely followed by a large slice of fruit cake......made especially for me, a large cup of tea........lots of alpaca natter, a little fleece rummage......and then back to see the girls, boys and then later in the afternoon I was introduced to Wellground Cool Dude !....he is Westhill Alpacas Elite Stud Boy, I know that Rosemary, Carl and Sam are really looking forward to seeing his first babies.....its a very exciting time......Dude is a very handsome young macho with great breeding and presence, to top it off he carries a fine wonderful dense fleece.
After all that admiring....it was time for another cup of tea.......Carl had arrived back home from work.....more chit-chat....and then it was time to go back to Wellground.
How time flies......
I had a wonderful day...visiting Westhill Alpacas......seeing everyone and just catching up in good company.
