About Me
- Apple Vale Alpacas
- Starting with 3 female alpacas in August 2008, this blog' follows the development of an alpaca breeding and fleece enterprise: the husbandry, breeding, managing the land and the infrastructure - shelters, fencing, drainage etc., while keeping a day job going, and hopefully in a light-hearted way. Also see our 'sister' site: www.appleknit.co.uk for info on spinning, felting etc. I enjoy pop and rock music. 'Shooting Stars', with Reeves and Mortimer, makes me cry with laughter. If you are looking to buy alpacas or fibre products, for any information or guidance, please e-mail: dave@applevalealpacas.co.uk Web-site: www.applevalealpacas.co.uk

What a fantastic eventful day at Apple Vale ...looks like a well earned rest for those baies after all that effort....now I'm just wondering....where have they hidden those Olympic Medals ! Fantastic photos...and beautiful babies .......Jayne
ReplyDeleteSUUUPER :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteGreat set of pictures!
ReplyDeleteYes, brill photos Dave - these guys are really getting into the olympic spirit. Shirley & Robbie
ReplyDeleteThe 'neck hug' in the last photograph reminds me of both Anna Watkins & Katherine Grainger and Helen Glover & Heather Stanning and their winning 'in boat' embraces.
ReplyDeletePresumably the first two photographs are shot suring the time trials. Number seven appears to be a photo finish, but then number eight might be Discovery in the lead?
6 Golds I hope?!
