We thought it was time to start to investigate our future lawnmowers and headed off to an Alpaca auction held just outside of Wellington. There is no doubt that the comic value of alpacas will keep MT amused for some time yet.

We kept our hands down and didn’t bid in the auction but there were many there that were. Also, they were paying big money to get a package of mum, cria and unborn offspring. We’ll have to save our $s to get a small number (they like company) but think that they will be cheerful additions to chez Treanor in Kaitoke.

How can you not think she’s adorable?

Ready to head off to their new home

So much to look at!
