Aren`t these guys handsome?With DD and DH away playing with their model planes, I decided to have a day out and went to the craft fayre at Ashdown forest Llama park. I have to be honest and say it was a bit of a let down as it`s nearly an hours drive from here and there were only a handful of stands, with nothing of interest to me. So, I went to say hello to the llamas (above) and the alpacas (below)
Don`t they look funny after they`ve been shorn
but cute when they are young.I spent quite a while wandering in the sushine and though it isn`t a big place I managed to pass a couple of hours quite happily. Sadly, they don`t sell any alpaca wool, I think they could be missing out there. Anyway with time still to spare I decided as I was in the area which in case you didn`t know is actually Pooh country, I couldn`t leave without visiting some of the sites, so I trekked off to Pooh Sticks Bridge, had an ice cream near Eeyore`s Sad and Gloomy Place, and finished up at Pooh Corner.
a not very good picture of Pooh Bridge - the only view I could get without all the world and his uncle in it!I promise, my next post will contain something about knitting and/or crochet, as hopefully I will have something to show by then.

I pass Ashdown Forest Llama Park on the way to visit my grandma at her new house - the first time I was all "OOH!" and the second time "WE MUST VISIT!". I'm amazed they don't sell yarn, though, but it might be worth a quick visit if I can snorgle an alpaca or two. :-D
I've played Poohsticks many a time on Pooh Bridge. Not recently, of course.... :-P
Oooh you should have brought one home!
