Lesley Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 No, it doesn't feel real - we feel like we are on holiday in France. We always stay in a largish gite with plenty of land so it just feels like France no doubt the reality will kick in during the wet and cold months We've just walked round the land with one of our clients - and I can hear myself telling him all about it and it seems like someone else talking!

Martin B Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I love alpacas. They are the most adorable things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 - I don't like Alpaca much - and you can only use their fleece - you can't eat them! - or ride them We are thinking about names for the calves as they should be with us for some time. I think Carl is angling for Ermintrude but I don't know if either of them look like an Ermintrude - they're far too skittish and not bucolic at all. I like the name Daisie.

Lesley Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 We're very impressed with the set up as well - it's coming on nicely now. We just need fencing for a couple more paddocks and then the calves and sheep can arrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
