There's always something when you have alpacas 19:08

5d ago19:08

19:08

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, I sit in the sun and think alpacas, and swans, and herons and the rest. No one ready for breakfast when I first went down to feed them - no one at home. But they heard me and came ready for clearing the troughs. Cold mornings make for hungry alpacas. Birds about today on a beautiful, clear,…

2M ago16:11

16:11

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! Alpacas have a pace all of their own. And if we choose to, we can let them teach us to find a slower rhythm that could just suit us better.
