What a week

Good morning all,
Well what a week it has been, first of all we had arranged to go to Easterwood Alpacas last weekend and stay over, to collect Ice Cool Lad, well owning Alpacas does not allways allow you to do want you want to do.Betsy was overdue her cria so my wife Ann decided to stay home just in case.Off I went to Berkshire to meet our good old friends Jeff and Sheila, and spend some time with them, all Alpaca talk,looking at their lovely herd, and totally relaxing. I stayed overnight at a lovely hotel. which they had arranged, through there daughter who works there a lot of thanks to them for that.I must say they have worked so hard, since moving on to their property, it really looks so nice loved the flower beds Jeff.
Monday soon came and it was time to load ICL up and head home to Essex, still Betsy was hanging on, typical female.Arriving home we settled ICL into his paddock, and got straight to work with the normal everyday jobs on the farm. It has been quite an eventfull week, getting ready for the shearers, having visitors to the farm, so I was pretty happy when the weekend arrived. Sunday came,I was about at five as I am an early person, checking the birthing paddock, still no change, all quiet on the western front, as the saying goes. I had just settled down for a cuppa, when Ann came through, looked out of the window, and said we have a cria just born, she had not taken ten minutes to give birth. We dashed out to see a lovely sparkling white female cria, the waiting had been worth it. She is the first cria born to our stud,Chase-End-Ice-Warrior and a cracker she is too,we will wait and see, as we breeders all do.
Better get out and do some chores or the day will pass by,speak soon,
Chase-End-Joe.
