It was a freezing cold day today at Morpeth Farmers Market. We were up and out in the dark so the girls were still in bed when we arrived, it didn't take them more than a few seconds to jump up and beat me to the feed troughs though!
Then we went down to the boys field to feed and pick up three volunteers for the day at the market. As usual there were plenty of boys wanting to run into the trailer, they do like a day out, probably due to the fact they get the best hay, carrot treats and lots of attention.
With Ochre, Pearson and Minimus loaded Paul tried to reverse the car up the channel to the trailer, however the car had other ideas, it was slipping and sliding all over the place. With the help of some wood and lots of welly he made it.
It was a well worthwhile outing, we sold lots of knitwear, educated lots of people and created lots of interest.
The only downer on the day was that I have lost my mobile! I'm hoping that in daylight tomorrow I will be able to find it in the field somewhere.
Seeing as we still haven't thawed out yet I think we deserve an early night, I might even have to take my (alpaca) hot water bottle to bed with me.
