The Family

A:

So i thought I'd take the opportunity to show you some members of the Maison des Chameaux family, and also post up a photo of one of the camels as since we haven't mentioned them much, apparently Harriet's mum isn't sure they actually exist! Above is Tallulah the llama. During the day she works in her pen giving kisses, ringing bells and taking hats off in her demonstration in front of the kids. By night she roams around, one of the animals that lives 'en liberté' in the farm, partly because she chases any foxes that turn up (as we explain to all the visitors everyday!) Above she's chilling by the 'artistic corner' that is Marjoljns home during the day (doing various paintings and making signs & spinning wool etc).

Now just below... I think... Ceefa the camel. There are 4 of them but I still can't quite distinguish completely between them. I do know my favourite Claudia though, who seems the most friendly of the bunch (and I've never seen them spit or kick!)

Then at the bottom we have Buttercup the pig, who since that photo was taken has grown massively (mostly width ways!) from eating far too many plums. She sits under the plum tree most of the day waiting for them to fall.

Just above buttercup, the goat pen (home to the famous agility goats Buggertwo and Nougatine. You can also see in the background the family home where we live!

Below, Diablo the kitten. Brother to Marilyn (the white one in the other photos). Sadly we lost Velcro - the other brother - a couple of weeks ago. He never returned from the vets :(

There are of course many other, but we'll have to introduce you some other time...
