I've had a quiet week, since returning from the first leg of my tour. only shearing four alpacas and that was today. Since Thursday I've been to Manchester, Tirley nr Gloucester, Wraxall North Somerset and Baulking nr FaSpaingdon. Manchester for new batteries for our off grid power supply, Pure Alpacas at Tirley to help with a shearing course, Wraxall as ring steward for the North Somerset Show and Baulking for alpaca shearing, now I have to think about packing for the next leg of the tour. Todays shearing went really well, collected my handler for today, Chris, and we were at the clients house for 11.00. Quick coffee and the ropes are set up, four suris sheared, no dramas or cuts, ropes packed away. An egg and bacon roll for lunch and we're away.
Back home and look at the options for luggage, do I give Harry the Holdall another chance, yes I will. The shearing kit is already in him, so it's just a bag for hand luggage for clothes and all is well. It's off to Spain with Jay Holland for a shearing course next.
