Alpacas keep you on your toes on both sides of the pond
In this episode, we catch up with my old friend Jeremiah Owen in California. We swap notes on a few things and get to hear what his biggest learnings have been this last year.
Coats for the cold weather
Some people like people-watching, but I prefer alpaca-watching. In this episode, we talk about those subtle interactions between alpacas – and us!
Taking the long view with alpacas
In this episode, we recognise the need to take a long view of almost everything to do with alpacas. We need to think in seasons and years rather than weeks and months.
When can we get back to normal?
I find myself craving normal in this episode, but it might have to wait a week. Don’t get me wrong, I like special but plain food and less sugar, along with some routine, is all I want right now. The holidays are over but we haven’t quite got back to normal. How about you?
Living in the in-between
Many of us live in the in-between. Between holidays, extreme weather and what may be coming in 2023. Stay safe and see you next year.
Alpacas, a stable, and my thoughts of Christmas
In this episode, I imagine that stable and that baby, but with some of my alpacas around too. Who would be the first to advance and check out the new arrival? I think I know. What do you think?
Hermione’s escapade on the ice
Recent cold weather reminds me of Hermione’s winter escapade. Listen in with a cup of hot chocolate and stay warm.
My priorities in the cold weather – feeding and mucking out
In this episode, I muse on keeping the alpacas fed and watered and keeping me warm via mucking out.
What would make you do it differently?
Why do we do what we do, and more importantly, why do we continue to do things the same way?
