What can I say.....

It's raining again! The poor animals will forget what it feels like to be dry.

I have a new toy, I'm sure we have mentioned before that in a bid to find a use for the alpaca muck and to reduce our carbon emissions we were trying to follow the Inca's example and burn the dried muck. Paul had made a mould which did the job but needed improvement, my dad then came up with a 'pipe' version which in principle was good, but the pipe was too thick. He has now adapted newspaper brick maker which is a great idea - just need the rain to stop so we can test it out.

The bad weather has meant that the knitting needles are working overtime and we have a new design in the shop:-
