Finally some shots of the woolly lawnmowers! The sheep are Harry (no horns) and Dumbledore. We’re fans. So shoot us. They’re Wiltipolls and shed their fleeces, so no shearing and they don’t need crutching. Phew. The alpacas are Judge (black); Lester (white); Charlie (fawn); and Jack (brown). They’re really pretty cute, although you need to watch out for your fingers when feeding them, and dodge fast if they start spitting at each other! And yes, there’s Oliver the cat up on the gate post.

Pippa the puppy is all grown up. She appears to have springs instead of legs and still likes shoes. Photo’s a bit fuzzy though.
And the latest addition to the menagerie – the birds.
Another shot of the garden. I planted lots of new bulbs last year and the blue star on the hillside have spread like mad. Also at the bottom among the rampant daffodils, are some anemones.
Smokey the dog and Oliver were quite sure they were much more interesting than the garden.
Here are some shots of my recent trip to New Zealand.
This is on Mt Eden, one of Auckland’s many volcanoes. According to Tessa Radley who took me there, it was used by the Maori people. There are terraces all along the sides which were either used for crops or fortifications. You can see into the crater through the trees.
This one has Auckland with the Sky Tower in the background.
The same day Tessa took me to see some of New Zealand’s wonderful Kauri trees (right). The photos really don’t do them justice.
Of course, it’s quite amazing what you can carve out of a tree trunk!
