Well I guess it was my fault, putting in an irrigation system for the trees in our small orchard.

So now it is raining again and I mean raining cats and dogs, not the odd shower.

The locals can offer no explanation for whats happening with the weather at this time of year, but as always they say with a smile "If you don't like it now, just wait 5 minutes and something else will be along very soon."

The alpacas aren't bothered either as there is little wind and the temperature is in the 60's.

On the 2nd of June I found some great pictures on an Australian Alpaca owners web site which really caught my attention so I posted them on my Blog.



Today we received a newspaper cutting from great friends of ours back in the UK showing the pictures of young Rory and his rugby loving alpaca had been printed in one of the daily papers back in England. The Daily Mail, circulation 2.5 million.



Now that is some great alpaca publicity and maybe its not the power of the Internet... but power of a great photographic image......so all we need now is a charming young American that plays American football with his pet alpaca...anyone out there know of such a child?
