Lockdown – here we go again

We knew this would happen eventually, however it it is still a bit sad. Mostly because you cannot see your friends in person and spend some time together over shared dinners – or a bonfire. Which is actually overdue thinking about it.

Nevertheless we consider ourselves lucky as we have plenty of space to go out without actually leaving the property. It’s also never getting boring here unless it rains for days and even then you find some stuff to do.

If not doing office work, we fix fences, move animals around, collect, cut and chop firewood, dig trenches, build goat houses 😉 and fix all sorts of things that break over time.

And of course you spend some time with the animals.

Some one in the village tragically lost an alpaca boy this week, so we decided to sell on Mocha – contactless. You cannot have a single alpaca. So we are now down to 8 alpacas, 6 females and 2 boys.

Attached a couple of farm life, landscape and animals impressions. Stay strong, stay safe everyone. Kia kaha.
