We have had a major movement operation on today. All the alpacas are now on the hill and we are in caravan mark 2; for hopefully only a few days before the house is habitable.
The weanlings were very well behaved and were so much better than I was expecting. They aren't haltered trained but because we are in the process of fencing they needed to be lead up to their new paddock.
They were all fantastic and despite the snow and ice walked well, the star of the class had to be Emery, our grey girl who we expected to be a nightmare. You may recall we once failed to halter train a cria, that was Midnight Star, who is Emery's sister.
We can never begin to thank Carol and Dave for everything they have done for us, particularly in the last two months. Dave has been helping us all weekend again with Carol keeping us supplied with food, drink and still knitting!
It just leaves me to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as until BT get their act together we are without a phone or broadband connection so hill updates will be by twitter only (see the left hand panel on the blog).
