well somebody I love dearly had a birthday recently and that was my Dad and that is a major achievement being 89 I can tell you. What better way for him to celebrate than becoming a great grandpa again and his daughter (me) becoming a grannie? to show just what she thought of it all.. gorgeous and something to really celebrate for us all 

Moving Field shelters is always a bit tricky with 14ft gates but ours have an overhang that clips down and along with shutting doors and rear windows they are just as fabulous 9 years on..

well they might need varnishing a tadge but still perfect for the Camelids

I love the big sky feel here and the cooler evenings and big blue sky mornings in September..

the beautiful months of the start of Autumn with the fruit on the trees and the crunchy leaves bringing hope, sadness and the promise of the white winter to come.

the light and the dark, the sun and the shadow ..

What better way to celebrate September at Kensmyth than this Sunset Barn photo in all its glory?

just a quick word to the wise – Acorns are poisonous to Alpaca. They rarely eat them unless short of grass but Cria can easily choke on them when playing with them – poover them up daily or better still, don’t put your Alpaca in the fields with Oak trees in them. They are still falling.
