Time until you have to mention alpacas?

NOTES

When you introduce yourself, how long does it take before you mention alpacas? Are they part of who you are? They are for me and I am guessing you too.

Taking time to be aware of how we talk about alpacas and improving this is likely to be helpful. When you next get the chance, listen to a good judge sum up the finer points of the winners – note the language.

In this episode, I give a quick update of the alpacas on the farm and talk about some news items you may not have seen.
