Today has been a tad drier but essentially it is wet and now quite cold and so we have sucumbed and started giving the alpacas 24/7 acess to their shelter. A bit like the sheep, they don't tend to seek shelter unless they really want to BUT unlike the sheep they do have a habit of using their shleter as a toilet by actively coming in to poo and wee and then going back out again.
Not at massively popular move: it's not as though we are short on mucking out duties!!!!
