Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people!

Sitting with the alpacas you can zone out but still be present. A delight to spend time with them and notice what is happening in the valley.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.

In this episode, Changing tack when sailing allows us to take advantage of the wind. How do you know when to tack?

I share some thoughts about making decisions and factors that can influence it. There is also an update on happenings in the valley. Listen in, you are most welcome.

We are now using the vitality alpaca mix from Waterhouse Feeds and are very pleased with it and at how much our alpacas seem to like it. Worth considering if you are in the UK.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.

In this episode, I make suggestions about using the low-ebb time of winter when the vegetation has died back, you can see the fences and the weeds and catch up on some maintenance.

In this episode, I reflect on how much of our life is outside of our control. This includes our alpacas for sure. Though there are some things that help.

Lovely day in the valley, so I took the opportunity to sit outside with my alpacas. Hope you get a chance to do so too.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.

And welcome to 2025. Intention is so important as we continue what we have been doing with our alpacas or plan to add in new things. Growing skills and confidence takes time and effort - and intention. Don't settle for more of the same - conserving what you have. Keep leaning into a forward trajectory as we plan and work our way through 2025.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.

Happy New Year to you all.

I have found my happy place to be with my alpacas. I hope it is yours too and you get a chance to spend some time with them.

What will 2025 hold? More of the same? Different? How can we do better?

No resolutions but a question to carry through the year. What will yours be?

Peace and presence, Steve

Happy holidays to one and all.

The gift of keeping alpacas is amazing and lasts all year. How can we give back? What can we get better at? How do we do it? Being intentional is a great place to start. Plan to build on what you are already good at, or things you need to improve or add into your repertoire.

Next year could be a great step forward if we approach it with intention.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.

In this episode, I went in search of Normal and found it in Illinois!

Alpacas here are mostly normal but we did have a visitor who left the gate open and the alpacas free to wander off down the road. No damage done.

Have a listen to my musings and if you can, go spend some time with your own alpacas watching out for normal.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.

Another storm - Darragh - hit the valley and made some impact. High winds, rain and a power cut. We lost some trees to the 80 mph winds but no serious damage to house or stable.

Today was very quiet and I found myself on my own and feeling on my own - the valley was quiet and empty. Most of the time it doesn't feel quite so empty. I feel connected. It was a good reminder at this time of year to reconnect and strengthen the connections we have with our friends, family and environment.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people!

Alpacas are mysterious creatures. We get to know them but they still surprise us with their mysterious ways. 'Why do they do that?' becomes 'Why do they sometimes do that?'. I have three questions that might help:

1. Is it me?
2. Is it them?
3. Is it something in the local environment?

Megan spat in my ear again. She doesn't always but sometimes I get surprised.

Winter continues to settle in and make itself at home. Listen in for a valley update.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.
