Today I have spent a lot of time sorting out my holiday photographs, all 445 of them. I seem to have got a bit carried away, thank goodness for digital cameras!

Northumberland ranks as one of my favorite places in the world. It has everything I love; dramatic landscapes, gardens, castles and history. But most of all I love the peace and tranquility, my favorite place to stay just adds to the experience.

On my journey down (or is that up?) I did have cause to wonder if I had been transported to a foreign land… I stopped off for afternoon tea and was greeted with Llamas and on closer inspection a camel!!! Apparently his name is Kevin.

Yorkshire Surprise

Can You see Me?

    Northumbria, Cherie?

    Kevin seems a fairly relaxed chap.

  4. There is a llama on Dad’s farm in Alberta…he keeps the coyotes at bay – and me too…doesn’t like BC license plates I guess :)
    Did Kevin spit at you?

      There was a warning on the fence which said ‘we nibble’ ;-) Kevin didn’t spit he seemed to laid back and snooty to be bothered with that sort of thing.

    Wot, no ponies? You’ve been cheated … ;-) ! Were the llamas for wool or trekking (or both)? Love that bactrian camel – all you need are harness, saddle and saddle-bags and you can be off to Mongolia for your next trip!

    • CherryPie says:

      I think they were there as an attraction for the Kiddies. Now that you mention it I think I might talk nicely to Kevin and he can take on a grand adventure ;-) He looks like he might be up for it ;-)

    Kevin looks pregnant.

    When we were on holiday in England a few years ago we saw a llama in the middle of a flock of sheep at Axbridge, Somerset.

    It’s all this multiculturalism that’s causing climate change, I tell you.
