Lord of the tractors

 Young Edward Lord is in a rush to drive methinks ! 'Won't be too long Dandad and I'll give you a hand with the alpacas. Soon as me feet touch the pedals- I'll be there!'

Already popping? This can't be right?

Will you look at this. They broke out all over the garden at the weekend. Spring is sprung and we haven't had Winter yet ! 

Whenever things like this used to happen when I was young like it raining cats and dogs on a washing day. My Grandma used to blame 'those bliddy Russians' . Why's that Grandma ? ' they've been sending those bliddy Sputniks up again our. Rob !' 

She was very well informed my Gran!

What's a boy to do with his new Hunter wellies ?

Get them washed and then go off with Dandma and Dandad to splash in the puddles!

Toft breeding albino squirrels... .?

Will you look at this remarkable and very unique chap. He is running around the trees at Toft Alpacas, bold as brass and whiter than fresh cream. I don't know what the frequency is of albino squirrels but we certainly feel very privileged having seen our first 

Toft Alpaca Christmas Open Day

It was all happening at Toft today with all the family helping out to make the day a huge success. Uncle Keith and Auntie Lorna ran the meet and greet and car parks like seasoned professionals although Uncle Keith was disguised as an Eewok.

Auntie Sandra was on Edward duty and Douglas his Dad hovered and lingered to great effect. Jenny and Georgie provided the splendiferous catering on the Morning Glory bus. The old folks lingered with intent with my Mum  Audrey dressed like Santas little helper and my Dad John dressed like Greengrass on an off day!

My wonderful mother in law Myra busied herself helping everyone who needed it.

Shirley and I and Linda hovered around the 2012 girls talking alpaca and Shirley took two huge trips of enthusiasts for a farm walk.

Cheryl, Emma, and Safari took the Christmas alpaca workshops, whilst Kerry, Claire and Harriett handles yarns and shopping.

A busy but amazing day in which the weather held up miraculously and of course the fat man in the red coat turned up twice to provide a little Chritmas cheer.

Thanks to everyone who made the day happen and special thanks to the 250 people who came and enjoyed our Toft Alpaca Christmas Open Day.

Oh happy days....

All day in Milton Keynes shopping with young Eddie and Dandma. Shopping- minimal. Fun -maximum. Lunch in Pizza Express, Dinner in Jamie's, snacks at Pret a Manger. What a busy day. The boy has taste! Alpacas eat your heart out!

No prizes for guessing what I am doing on Saturday?

No prizes for guessing what I am doing at the Toft Alpaca Christmas Farm open day on Saturday! 

The last time I did this Kerry was at nursery school. At least I can honestly say I have grown into the part! Ho, ho,  ho!
