Beauty day all round today! 🦙💅

The alpacas had their turn first — sheared, feet trimmed, and looking fabulous with their little pom-pom hairstyles! ✂️✨

Then it was my turn for a bit of pampering, and I couldn’t resist having an alpaca painted on one of my nails. How cute is that? 🦙💕

A massive thank you to Kat at Katz Nails & Beauty for my gorgeous nails and for creating the sweetest little alpaca design. Absolutely love them! 😍

Now both the alpacas and I are feeling fresh, tidy, and ready for summer! ☀️

Lots of fun, cuddles and enjoyable memories💜

Finished with Prosecco and Homemade Cake

Thank you both for such a lovely evening 💙

Shearing weekend here at Anvil Alpacas! 🦙✂️

The whole herd has now been sheared just in time for the bank holiday heatwave ☀️ Everyone is looking very smart — and feeling much cooler too!

A huge job completed and lots of fluffy fleece collected along the way.

Yesterday we had such a lovely time visiting the wonderful residents at Hebburn Manor Care Home with Grace and Glitz 🦙💛

The residents loved meeting the alpacas, giving them lots of strokes and cuddles, and there were smiles all around. Grace and Glitz were so gentle and enjoyed all the attention too!

A big thank you to Margaret, the Activities Coordinator, for inviting us along and making us feel so welcome. It was such a special visit for everyone involved.

Before we left, Grace and Glitz also popped over to say hello to the workmen — they didn’t want anyone to miss out on the alpaca cuddles! 😊

Today we were at Chester Le Street in Riverside Park, supporting the Heal and Toe Charity to help raise money for the amazing work they do!

Beautiful Liv and Amazing Grace, stole the park with lots of cuddles, strokes and some hand feeding from everyone who attended!

We met some amazing families and wonderful people which made it a very special day 💜

Another care home visit today to Bede House and Grace handled it like a true professional — she really does love her visits . I lost count of how many times she sat down for cuddles and attention ❤️

Glitz also accompanied Grace on her first visit and was adored by everyone, especially one very special resident who is an incredible 104 years young ✨

We received this lovely feedback
“Jane, thank you for today, the residents are still talking about it, just magical!”
I am so proud of my girls 🦙🦙💖

This afternoon we visited Lansbury Court Care Home for Grace’s very first appearance — and she certainly made an impression, living up to her nickname of Amazing Grace!

The residents thoroughly enjoyed interacting with the alpacas, with plenty of cuddles, stroking, and smiles all round ❤️

Grace was so relaxed and comfortable with everyone that, on the way out, she decided to lie down in the corridor and refused to move… clearly she felt completely at home!
