Where am I

[MichaelH070862]

Totally confused went out for a walk instead of a run still managed 4K in 40 minutes mind but while out found two llamas( native to South America) this morning did the same but went a different way and found an emu (native to Australia) and I am only running round my village

Ha ha Seriously ??? In Kent ?? Whats going on ? xxx

[MichaelH070862 Graduate in reply to poppypug]

Not sure but living in Essex at the moment

[poppypug Graduate in reply to MichaelH070862]

Maybe they've escaped from the local zoo ! I am sure there must be lots of animals in the countryside that have made the " Great Escape " xxx

Cheeky monkey however never a true word spoken in guest

[Dunder2004 Graduate]

He he.

Strange you should mention that, I am also in Kent and there are two llamas (maybe alpacas) on one of my regular running routes too.

[MichaelH070862 Graduate in reply to Dunder2004]

First time I had seen them yesterday thought I had drunk to much but saw them today so not an illusion

[MarkyD Graduate]

Had not realised it was that hot in Essex this weekend.

I don't know, all those non-indigenous animals coming over here and taking our fields.

[MichaelH070862 Graduate in reply to MarkyD]

Well it is nice but bit to far north to be real

As long as they are behind a fence you'll be ok. I got followed home by a llama a few years ago - it had broken its tether at a visiting circus, and walked just behind me all the way down the river path. Every time I stopped and turned around, it stopped too, and waited for me to get going again. I ended up walking it back to the circus, where I got told off for knocking on a caravan window and waking them up. They were told that although I was very honoured by the llama's crush, I already had enough dependents to deal with and drew the line at cuddling up on the sofa with something with yucky teeth.

Fortunately they where behind a hedge and more interested in the grass than me so lucky I guess

Only you mfamilias ...only you xxx

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

We have Llamas on a route I run near High Onn in Staffordshire... maybe they are relatives.. or the same ones, on holiday

Good run too by the sounds of it , considering it should have been a walk !

Great to hear from you.. This has kept us 'emu-sed' ... see what I did there x

[misswobble Graduate]

I know! It's amazing what you bump into 😀 I walked along a footpath in Bakewell and bumped into llamas! Big beggars aren't they 😀 Also, when my son was little we were on a bike ride and I spotted a sign, "beware of wild animals" Strange we thought til I spied through the hedgerow, a commercial greenhouse full of ostrich 😱 Mad place to try and contain such creatures 🙄

The things you miss when in cars 😀

[davelinks Graduate]

All I have is lovely horses on my run, though spotted a handsome thrush, which seemed quite tame and stayed until I got right up close, so must be running a tad quieter now..😁

[misswobble Graduate]

Derbyshire has wallabies roaming free and breeding happily, having escaped from Riber Zoo years ago 😀

[MichaelH070862 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

i'm not sure but Llamas are supposed to be good burglar deterrents but the village is hardly a high crime zone either way would wanna mess with them

[misswobble Graduate]

Has anyone seen Farmer's Llamas? A nick park Aardman kids thing. Brilliant! 😀

[MichaelH070862 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

I haven't but will look out for it
