View from the Valley: September 2009
http://welshvalleyview.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
View from the Valley. Thursday, 10 September 2009. Walking the dogs the other morning I detected a temporal shift. (No not a rift in the time-space continuum - you watch too much sci-fi). Spring began for me with a subtle shift in the greens of the valley. I declare Autumn to have begun with a shift in the browns. Still subtle, Autumn is not yet full-on. Monday, 7 September 2009. Reggie the racer moves on and other updates. Not sure where he has gone to but our racing pigeon visitor has not been seen for...

View from the Valley: Boy racer, or girl racer?
http://welshvalleyview.blogspot.com/2009/09/boy-racer-or-girl-racer.html
View from the Valley. Friday, 4 September 2009. Boy racer, or girl racer? He does not seem to be hurt but is not currently showing much inclination to return home - wherever that is. I checked his leg ring but could not see a phone number printed on his wings - apparently some of them do have this. The Royal Pigeon Racing Association. He seems happy enough but let's hope that the cats and local birds of prey don't invite him for lunch. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

View from the Valley. Monday, 7 September 2009. Reggie the racer moves on and other updates. Not sure where he has gone to but our racing pigeon visitor has not been seen for a few days. I did not even get to tell him his new name. He had taken to sitting on the bathroom windowsill and blinking at you through the window. Go well my young feathered friend. She also has a novel way of leaving the house but I will tell you about that another time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

View from the Valley: Last cria of the year just arrived
http://welshvalleyview.blogspot.com/2009/09/last-cria-of-year-just-arrived.html
View from the Valley. Wednesday, 2 September 2009. Last cria of the year just arrived. This is Lalana, the mum. Bank holiday Monday saw another wet day to go with the many we have had during the summer here in Swansea. Finally the sun arrived in the afternoon. This was closely followed by a pair of white feet, spotted at a distance across the valley. Lalana, our oldest mum at 6 yrs, produced a gorgeous girl with long legs. This is the new cria at the really floppy stage.). View my complete profile.

View from the Valley: New resident in the valley
http://welshvalleyview.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-resident-in-valley.html
View from the Valley. Wednesday, 2 September 2009. New resident in the valley. I think this particular resident is probably not that new but his home is. This process has been going on over a number of weeks, so it must be a weekend and evening project. Finally I found fresh soil and some footprints - smudged by the rain but looking suspiciously like a fox. Not big enough for a badger - unless the hole continues to grow!

View from the Valley: February 2009

View from the Valley. Thursday, 12 February 2009. Farmer takes alpaca to pub. BBC NEWS England Farmer takes alpaca to pub. Wonderful video clip from the news. My mum told me about it and while we were still talking on the phone, Google popped up the answer of this page at the BBC. She was delighted that I had not missed out seeing it after all. Perhaps I should have a word with Rob and Joanne at the Shepherds. Maybe a bit of extra interest for the beer garden in the summer. Friday, 6 February 2009. My la...

View from the Valley: August 2009
http://welshvalleyview.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
View from the Valley. Thursday, 20 August 2009. No serious damage done apart from some bent fences - the posts remained intact. You could not have done that if you had tried. Perhaps it will become a new country pursuit? Or even be added into the Olympics for 2012. It should be pointed out that the farmer removing the 'bomb' is not the same one who put it in there. Last Sunday was something of a "damsel day". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

View from the Valley: Alpaca Open Day
http://welshvalleyview.blogspot.com/2009/09/alpaca-open-day.html
View from the Valley. Wednesday, 2 September 2009. Sunday was our autumn Alpaca Open Day. We now have 15 alpacas, having started with 5 pregnant females in March 2008. While I was talking non-stop in the stable, where the girls and their cria were safely in a pen, Sue was up at the house with lots of lovely helpers, supplying our guests with hot drinks and home made cakes (even if not from our home on this occasion). They also got a chance to get their hands on some toasty warm and soft alpaca socks.
