Firstly, it's really exciting to have my first comments on the blog - thank you to Teresa for her enthusiasm. Her photos of Heveningham Hall are much better than mine, so if you want to see the gardens and what went on at the Country Fair on Sunday, check out http://tarvigarus.livejournal.com/. However, I have included photos of The Melford Green Alpacas because how can you not fall in love with them? Melford Green's owner, Paul Rylott, can be seen surrounded by the fantastic pictures by artist, Jo Roberts, who joined us on the stall. (I should probably add that the two kids debating the benefits of owning an alpaca - or three, are mine!)
It was a very wind swept day and, of course, we were competing with the British Grand Prix and the best Men's final Wimbledon has seen for many a year, but we met some interesting people and I learnt alot about Alpaca Husbandry. I started another of my scarf kits using the wonderful black alpaca yarn, it's slightly thicker than the cream baby alpaca, but the natural sheen is wonderful and of course, incredibly soft! So all in all, a great experience and a lovely way to pass a Sunday afternoon. (Teresa, I hope you enjoy the felted soap - I had great fun making it - should appear on the web site fairly soon!)

The soap looks so pretty and smells wonderful too. I have decided to make another Shetland Triangle from the wool. I've put a photo of my new stash on my journal. I'm so glad to have galvanized myself into action and visited Heveningham. Thanks, Becks. Teresa
