Saturday 27th April
Only the girls left to shear and it's raining, so we have to get them under cover close to where we are shearing. We put them under shelter about 8 meters away from the shearing station, this means a longer walk to fetch each one and additional time. Giusy, Martin's partner, is promoted to shearer's assistant's assistant and is helping with the ropes and collecting fleece. Lunch break is taken, pasta, and we complete the girls late in the afternoon. Now the rain is coming down quite steadily and all the alpacas seem to be enjoying the rain on their backs. Shower, supper and sleep, Ready for the journey tomorrow.
