The weekend was , again , a highly successful one ! With the help ( major contribution
actually ) of dear friends , the alpacas now have a very posh pergola to sit under in inclement weather ! A roof is still needed to make it perfect , but they have got
the hang of it
and are already happily
ensconced under it . Help
was also forth coming with a second round of worming injections , to complete the course . DH saw this as an excellent
opportunity to get out of a job he hates , and having given basic instructions on how to catch an alpaca , left our hapless guests to it largely , actually they proved very adept and far better than DH since they were much calmer and hung on through spitting , screaming and a bit of
kicking , which thankfully didn't make contact. Even the big boys got wormed and everyone is
relaxing back into their normal routine minus worms !
The girls are back in their preferred
paddock during the day , but I am slightly nervous about leaving them overnight so they are coming in to sit under their pergola for the moment .Heaven knows
when they will get a roof since DH has to install a suitable hearth stone ( welsh slate naturally ) for a new log burner to be fitted in the other sitting room next week !
Hens are nearly feathered again and hopefully the egg production should go up , my neighbour revealed that one
of my hens has been trotting down to her to eat corn and lay !!! so said hen is definitely confined to barracks !
