What a brilliant day. Julie booked us on to spend a morning looking after alpacas, in particular the boys and girls at Little Orchard Alpacas near Axminster in Devon. In total we spend four hours here helping Vic the owner feed, poo pick, exercise, check body condition, eye health, apply vitamins orally and generally care for the 20+ alpacas she has. It wasn't our first visit, that was in July, a very hot day where we just walked them. We we're meant to do this session in November but it was rained off, and converted to today which thankfully was dry. Today was much more hands on. And I loved it as did Julie. They're such characters alpacas, love being around people and really placid, though they can kick and jump. It was so nice to be outside doing this work, it didn't feel like work at all, hopefully we'll get back next year for another session. Lovely part of the world too.
