Well with the Alpaca having been scanned a long time ago by myself and my trusty Probe Scanner, it was nice to take a “back seat” and let someone else do the work on the Sheep this year!

And I have to say that Luke was very efficient.

Yes, I can save money and use my scanner probe on sheep but I do not have the equipment required for the job as yet and not a worthy investment with such a teeny weeny flock as yet!

However – that might be something on a “wanted” list for another time.

meantime – all Ewes of all breeds here pregnant so fingers crossed for safe lambing in the New Year…

again – what else can you say other than see the beauty in the Sunset in December?

what can you say that these pictures do not capture?

well you might think this is a funny picture of a guard dog guarding but actually it is meant to show the piles of planings in readiness for improving tracks for our visitors next year. It has been over four years now since we came and they need a bit of tidying!

well we all have dogs to walk and the weather is really mild at the moment – amazing what you can see if you look at the ground…

Well I have not had much chance to do anything yet in terms of Christmas shopping but have had a few “foodie” trips.

Always in demand on farm, I am always amazed at the transformations that take place in the shops I frequent between visits… often I cannot find what I want as they have moved aisles.

However, I was rather surprised to find Kangaroo in Lidl and Ostrich in Tesco…

bit more than the everyday Turkey choice!

where is December going? it is flying past and Christmas will be upon us shortly… meantime enjoy the mini heatwave…

and sunset… in the West

Well it was a jolly cold barn before the Patio Heaters arrived but everything sold really well and our new machined Alpaca Yarn Jumpers sold well, especially the green!
