Beauty day all round today! π¦π
The alpacas had their turn first β sheared, feet trimmed, and looking fabulous with their little pom-pom hairstyles! βοΈβ¨
Then it was my turn for a bit of pampering, and I couldnβt resist having an alpaca painted on one of my nails. How cute is that? π¦π
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! π
Now both the alpacas and I are feeling fresh, tidy, and ready for summer! βοΈ

Yesterday we had such a lovely time visiting the wonderful residents at Hebburn Manor Care Home with Grace and Glitz π¦π
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 β they didnβt want anyone to miss out on the alpaca cuddles! π
