Off to the Alpaca Farm

So it's National Alpaca week, awesome. Perfect weather too so off we went to our local Alpaca Farm Malakai Stud, I love where we live, less than 5 minutes and were on open country roads.

So the great thing about this Alpca Farm, besides that they have over 450 friendly alpacas to look at, is the owner breeds Mediterranean Donkeys, ie. miniature jennys!

Cate really likes the spotty one, this girl looked like neapolitan ice cream. I think I prefer a standard grey. Stuart liked them too, except when they kept standing on his feet.

Just adorable, definitely on my wish list, not cheap though so will have to save, but so placid and friendly, and lovely to look at, a big must have.

Happy Birthday Emma

Happy Birthday to my BFF Emma, who has been nagging encouraging me to get back into blogging. It's been nearly 6 months give or take. I have just added some Photo Thursday's, bringing me up to February, so maybe 3 months behind now? Bit like my Pow Wow quilts, I am terribly behind on them. No real news; work, kids, cats, Squeak is still going strong despite a nasty chest infection. Were planning another snow holiday and I have done some local markets, all good at this end!
