Hattie's in the news....again!

Nice surprise when I opened this week's edition of the Shepton Mallet Journal, there was a llama pulling a funny face at me from page 3.  Not just any old llama - our Hattie is in the news again (probably the 5th or 6th time this year).  There was a lovely write up too, for Cobblers, the Wool Shop in Shepton at whose 20th birthday party we were attending - good publicity for both parties as they have been selling Albie the Alpaca's wool for us, for the past couple of years.
Stopped by the fields on my way home to tell Hattie she was in the paper again. She didn't seem that impressed.  Mind you, think her mind was probably on other things, could see her baby turning somersaults inside her tummy so I don't think it will be too long now until little one arrives.  When's the next full moon?

Life as a llama farmer ...

... just got harder!
Whilst I can cope with head collar training, birthing crias, poo picking and dealing with bolshy males, this blogging lark is going to take some practise.
Will be aiming to add pictures, info and links to my website - but it seems this will take a bit of time to suss out what all the different commands mean.
In the meantime, anyone out there able to give some advice?
