Glasshouse Wedding!
We were asked by bride to be Juliette, if the alpacas would make a special appearance at the Glasshouse in Edinburgh, to surprise her wedding guests. This would involve them going up in a lift to the lawned deck on the roof of the Playhouse! We weren’t too sure if the alpacas would refuse to […]
