The temperature in my house this am, -5 outside. A safe household temperature for pensioners is at least 18°C (65°F), especially for those who are over 65, have pre-existing medical conditions, or are not mobile: Thanks @UKLabour no #WFA. Collateral damage. You just don't care.

A baby Alpaca is called a "cria". It takes 11.5 months to make one of these cuties. They're usually up and running in 30mins and will stay with mum for 7/8 months..

Alpaca FAQ: What does alpaca fleece feel like? Alpaca fleece is very lightweight and strong. Because alpaca is very soft & does not contain lanolin, many people who cannot wear wool can wear alpaca. Alpaca fleece is naturally stain and odor resistant. Like cashmere - but better!

The farm lane purpled. Sweet violets bloom. Delicate scents. Sharing exotic colours in my practical world. @NFUCountryside @CumbriaWeather @visitsedbergh

Shearing time... The scissors are out. Apparently in 1892 Jack Howe sheared 321 Merino sheep in a single day with hand shears. The record still stands. I won't be troubling him.

Good Friday. With the rain comes lambs. Days start at 6am before the sun is up. And end just before midnight. So happy in this routine I wait all year for. Most of my ewes lamb unassisted, I am merely there to shepherd and help if there are any problems. @NFUCountryside 🐑 – at North West, England

Please retweet. This is a living nightmare. The Enferplex scientists recommend retesting and monitoring. Defra won't listen.

Replying to @michaelgove
@michaelgove Defra is insisting on killing a healthy alpaca imported from NZ. In your name. One disputed test result. NO epidemiological or clinical evidence. Unreasonable and downright damaging for Voluntary testing of camelids in the UK. #btb

Thanks @TheMontyDon for your support: “I know from personal experience how gardening helps heal many mental & physical ills. When you are sad a garden comforts. When you are consumed by anxiety it will soothe you & when the world is dark & bleak it shines a light to guide you on"
