Last Thursday was probably one of my favorite days of the week as me and Megan decided to take a long overdue trip to Mayfield Alpaca farm. We got the bus about 11ish and ended up basically in the middle of nowhere (the countryside of Sheffield). It was pretty windy and there was mud everywhere but the sun was out and we were determined to find those alpacas! After wandering around for a while with google maps, asking people for directions in a pub and Megan slipping in mud, we finally found the place!!!
So we paid at the cafe and we were given a coin to put in the turnstile to enter the farm. Yes, there was more mud everywhere but the sight of seeing those fluffy alpacas just made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. They are so cute and gentle! We literally just slid around the farm and trying to hold each other up from falling but we manage to spot more animals such as chickens, pigs, goats and more. Once we left the farm the cafe staff told us we could go to the room with smaller animals :)
Afterwards we realised there wasn't a bus to take us back into civilisation so we had to call for a taxi. We ended our day at Fancie which is a cake shop/restaurant, we decided we needed this after the events that day haha! We engulfed lashings of tea, the hot dog of the day which was a sausage with gravy and mash potato on top in crusty bread (omg! It was delicious!) then we had a cupcake each and of course more tea! (Never felt so British!)
I really enjoyed this day and I hope we can do it again sometime!
Ooh! Megan made a video about this day so go check it out, tells a better story than this blog post :)
Thanks for reading!
