Bad man!!!!!!!!!!

No I'm not biased! :lol: You'd be welcome to come and see my llamas but it's a bit of a long way! The expense I was talking about: Llamas are expensive to buy compared to a sheep or goat. But are no more expensive to feed or take care of...possibly less. I was really talking about vet bills! Not tha...

I'm not that up on goats anymore! But I seem to remember that goats need protection from draughts and need to be shut up in bad weather. A llama is quite happy with a three sided shelter and they really prefer to decide for themselves when it's too cold or wet to be outside. We have harsh winters he...

Don't let little kids put you off having llamas...my tiddler has been leading llamas since she was just shy of three...They really are very child friendly. They don't kick unless something bothers their legs but you do have to watch kids of that small size because they are just the right height to g...

Probably not a good idea to start me on Llamas there is a fair chance I'll never stop. But before I start...I feel like I have to say that any livestock 'easy' or not is a huge responsibility and unless you are very rich you will have to do a lot of care that you might assume is for a vet, ie: givin...

Ok I did it when I was margo so if it was good enough for her gerry has to suck his socks and give it a bash too.......... Long story short..we've been dumped by some long term tenants (honestly I didn't think I smelt that bad) and so have no rentals for August...if we can't find a renter then the d...

Recipe for courgette loaf 'zucchini bread' taken from 'llamas on the trail, a packer's guide' I have a cup measure so I use it don't know what the weights are... 2-3 medium loaves, 1 large and 1 small loaf or 36 muffins 2 cups zucchini grated (the beloved courgette) 3 eggs 1 cup sugar 1 cup oil 1/2 ...

Oh shit! (can I say that?) I've just turned male!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's all a bit scary and now my sexual identity is really confused...don't get into bed with me tonight..........I was just getting used to being female...plump and middle aged which is argueably quite accurate and now this :shock: Any...

Sorry! have to be pedantic here cannot include courgette flowers......completely different beast...could start a thread about courgette flowers tho...........

I'll hunt the recipe out a bit later...but in the meantime forgot:

Cougette and carrot pasta (invented)
Several courgette and tomato based pasta sauces (Various Italian)

It's that time of year here again...I never buy a courgette because we have so many over summer that it seems ridiculous to spend money on them even if I fancy one........I'm not sure that this shouldn't be in 101 uses but here goes anyway...So far we've had: Courgette 'meatballs' (Indian) Courgette...

I'm going to try to be clever and post a pic of our latest...she's a darling and a silly pic of my big daughter with the first born and rapidly growing.....Here goes! http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/garlicgarlic/Genevieveforweb.jpg and hopefully! http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i143/garlicg...

Millymolly thanks as well...is he ...

Ha....Just caught the last of my lot for this year.........had a feeling it wouldn't be long looking at her yesterday........Popped up to do the morning round at 8.30 this morn and she was definitely in labour....Baby was born about 10am...female...all looking good so far, fingers crossed...Time for...
