Guess where we were yesterday?

Sometimes we all need a break from alpacas. After Shirley judged the alpacas at the Dundalk Agricultural show we stayed in Ireland for most of yesterday. Then after looking over some  of our alpacas which are for  sale at Mullagh Lane alpacas in he morning we slipped North of the Border with our good friend Bernie Neary to visit the Titanic exhibition in Belfast. 
 It's not an Exhibition as such it's truly much much more. It's a full on extremely modern interactive experience and is one of the most innovative permanent exhibitions I have ever had the privilege of seeing. The av work is truly stunning and almost impossible to photograph as it is constantly moving. We spent two and a half hours engrossed in the Titanic and the history of Belfast and the Harland & Wolfe Shipyard at the beginning of the twentieth century. It was truly inspirational and well worth a visit to Belfast just to see it. We could have spent our hours and would not have been bored - it's that good- really!

The Judge dun gud!

Shirley had a great day yesterday judging her first alpaca halter show at the Dundalk agricultural show in Eire. The weather threatened to give us a soaking from early doors to mid afternoon and then didn't deliver so we got away with it again.
 She really is the luckiest woman in the world when it comes to weather. If Shirley commands it does not rain, it quivers and cowers and stamps up and down wanting to but somehow never gets up the nerve to go against her wishes. 
As her trusty 'companion animal' I empathise entirely!
