Alpaca eggs?

The sign on the waymark post reads: "Alpaca Antics: Free Range Eggs, Best In The Valley!! £1.20 ½ dozen - Follow Main Track Down To Our Farm". You can see some of the alpacas in SX8970 : Alpacas, Haccombe.

Pear tree, Haccombe

I think this is a pear tree (close-up at SX8970 : Pear blossom, Haccombe), but really ought to nip back there to check now that the fruit will be on the way. Update: I did, the day after submitting this, and SX8970 : Pear, Haccombe was the result. On the left is the church of St Blaise Link .

Sheep and protected stuff seen from the John Musgrave Heritage Trail. The former mobile home seen in SX8870 : Former mobile home near The Round House has probably long since gone.
