点评:We were met on arrival to the farm by our lovely hostess Briar and taken to meet the animals. First we hand fed the small flock of black sheep, some cheeky ones pushing forward to get as much food as possible and a few more timid ones hanging back as if waiting to be invited.
Next was a visit to the stables to meet the horses who seemed interested to meet us too as each one took food from our hands and allowed us to stroke them...such magnificent, noble creatures.
Then came the alpacas. Again some hand feeding helped with a positive introduction along with a few tips about how to manage the alpacas on the walk and after a few minutes, with an alpaca each, we set off. The farm is set up high on the hillside with fabulous views across the valley and was so peaceful as we strolled along the well trodden path. The alpacas are beautiful, gentle animals and easy to walk at a comfortable pace. They respond best to people who are calm and we certainly felt relaxed walking along with them and sometimes stopping for the animals to nibble at the surrounding greenery. Briar shared her knowledge about the alpacas, so we learnt quite a bit about our new friends. She also made sure we had opportunities for lots of great photos with all the animals.
By the end of our walk, we were in love with the alpacas and felt it was a privilege to spend time with these wonderful creatures. This was truly a delightful and memorable experience.
翻译:我们抵达农场时,可爱的女主人Briar热情地迎接了我们,并带我们去见动物们。首先,我们亲手喂了那一小群黑羊,有些顽皮的羊会往前挤,尽可能多地觅食,而有些胆小的羊则退缩着,仿佛在等待被邀请。
接下来,我们去了马厩,见了马匹,它们似乎也对我们很感兴趣,每匹马都从我们手里接过食物,让我们抚摸它们……真是高贵又壮丽的动物。
然后是羊驼。我们再次亲手喂食,这让我们对它们有了更深入的了解,还学到了一些如何在散步时照顾羊驼的小技巧。几分钟后,我们一人牵着一只羊驼出发了。农场坐落在高高的山坡上,可以欣赏到山谷的壮丽景色,我们沿着人迹罕至的小路漫步,感觉非常宁静。羊驼美丽温顺,很容易以舒适的速度遛弯。它们对平静的人反应最好,我们和它们一起散步时感觉非常放松,有时还会停下来让它们啃食周围的绿叶。布莱尔分享了她对羊驼的了解,让我们对这位新朋友有了不少了解。她还确保我们有机会和这些动物拍很多精彩的照片。
散步结束时,我们爱上了羊驼,并觉得能与这些奇妙的生物共度时光是一种荣幸。这真是一次令人愉快且难忘的经历。
