We’ve been back for 5 weeks now and don’t seem to have stopped. I tend to do a lot of DIY and Sue deals with the entertaining. It’s great to see lots of people and to catch up with everyone's news.
I’ve lead 4 rambles in the New Forest and had a good turn out each time even though the weather has been iffy on occasions. Here is a photo I took close to home whilst on a ramble. The question is - are they long necked sheep or alpacas or llamas?
Near Stinking Edge Wood – that’s the correct name – honest. Lyn’s in the pink!
Joan and Udo, from Germany, eventually managed to make it to the UK. We met them at the Royal Victoria Country Park near Southampton. We managed a few geocaches and the weather held for the picnic.
The picnic!
Auntie Hilda, from Holland, with Peter (a neighbour) her nephew usually visits us for a meal. We can then reminisce about our trips to Holland.

You know who!

Poole is the headquarters of the RNLI so they usually do things well.

Hi Sue & Stuart,
The photo of the long necked animals are of Alpacas. We visited friends in Aus (you met Amanda at Lymington)who have 'Hobby' Farms, they all have a couple of Alpacas in withthe sheep, the Alpacas keep watch and will attack preditors. We saw two black ones being sheered on Amanda's brothers farm, the hobble their legs together, get them on the ground, tie ropes to the front and back legs to fixed objects either end and the like a Spanish winlass keep them spread appart while the sheerer cuts the hair off. They are amazingly skinny with no hair.
