ALPACA lot into this bank holiday..... Baby Alpacas spring into action running through buttercups that are out in their paddock at Petlake Alpacas of the New Forest in Bartley, Hants. The quartet of Cria are expected to be joined by more as the weather improves this May bank holiday weekend and the farm starts their birthing season for the Alpacas.
Husband and wife farm owners Sue, 55 and Brian Sears, 56, said, "Alpacas will wait for good weather before they give birth. They give birth in the daytime, usually between 8 - 8pm but seem to like the hours between 11am-2pm, but only once the weather conditions are right. They are able to time it."

Blackpool rock maker leads crusade to protect British seaside staple
Stanton & Novelty is one of 10 Blackpool businesses that handmakes UK rock, but cheap imports and MP scandals are frustrating attempts to gain geographical protection.
At a small factory making Blackpool rock, the flavours might be different from previous generations but the techniques and skills are the same as they were 60 years ago.
Stepping inside the Stanton & Novelty factory in Blackpool is like entering a time capsule. The smell of burnt sugar is intense. Big splodges of colourful hot toffee are like abstract artworks.
Holidaymakers on the promenade at Blackpool where Stanton & Novelty Confectioners, a family firm, has been making traditional Blackpool rock in the Lancashire seaside resort since 1969. Ten sweet makers in the town asking for protected status for their product which is facing competition from cheap Chinese imports.

A chewy candy from a company known for the fruity tastes of its products has hit the market — promising fans no flavour at all.
Japanese confectioner Morinaga’s Hi-Chew sweet treats have become an international hit with mainstays like strawberry, apple, lemon, and grape.
But now it is rolling out a taste-less version called “Sono Manma-aji” in Japanese which translates as “Just As It Is Flavour.”
Hi-Chew was originally created in the 1950s to create a type of chewing gum that could be swallowed.
Morinaga’s goal for the Just As It Is Flavour is a a product with a distinctive texture that’s stress-relieving to chew on.
The company promises“the more you chew, the happier you’ll feel.”
A Morinaga spokesperson said the idea was for people to enjoy the unique texture of the Hi-Chew candies.
