Sunday was not only the British GP, but also shearing day at Mullacott and Colin the shearer's birthday. What a treat he got, 39 alpacas to shear and a lovely cake baked by Izzy, which we all tucked into before he even saw a slice. It was a nice dry day and I got to meet several other local alpaca owners which was interesting. Most had small herds like myself. Half time treats of sausage baguettes were provided followed by clotted cream, jam & scones later in the day.
I found it fasincating to see all the different alpacas get sheared. Colin makes it look so easy. Bagging up the fibre was the easy part which I volunteered to do. If I am lucky next year I will be promoted to mat sweeper!
