« on: December 23, 2011, 01:40:40 pm »
Just thought I better say hello :wave: We don't have many animals but I love them all! 17 various chickens including my beloved Pekins and blue Orpingtons, Sydney my Indian runner and his 4 I.R friends, 3 turkeys, 8 cats,3 of them are Norwegian forest cats 4 dogs, 2 Labradors, a naughty Whippet and a Lurcher, and 2 Dutch rabbits.
 My sister thinks I ought to get an Alpaca, so she has a supply of wool for her knitting. I think she can buy it and clean it out! :llama:

I think it's still in Cumbria, but it's quite close to the Northumberland border. We were up near there a couple of months ago taking two cats to their new home  :)
