Mrs H is going to be breeding Alpacas. The Alpaca is a bit like a Llama and comes from places such as Peru. Sort of like a small woolly Camel, and much favoured by the Incas and what have you as the basis of a long standing textile industry. I'm sure any package tour in the Andes involves "an opportunity" for shopping at an approved outlet for woven Alpaca products. Much like the ordeal of the Turkish carpet weaving shop. In Egypt it was the Government approved Papyrus shop, in Mexico it was the Mescal Factory, in Hong Kong it was the diamond cutting shop also Government approved,..
Which reminds me that we've got to go to Canada on Saturday. Trips to Montreal do not normally involve tour buses to retail outlets. This is a different type of deal/ordeal known as visiting the In-laws...
It's hot in summer and cold in winter. In the autumn presumably it can be hot and cold and at the same time? But with these new bagage allowances it's likely I'll only be taking what I can stand up in, as Isabelle has a very much longer list of essentials.
