Nikki Grant is the Accidental Alpaca Farmer, based near Wickham with a herd of 50 and she spins her own alpaca wool.

She spoke at Petersfield Women's Institute on Wednesday 10 June to the usual lively WI audience. 

An accredited trainer, and very knowledgeable - she’d write a book if she had time!

She talks to Mike Waddington about her herd of 50 (there are 65,000 Alpacas in the UK now) and making a living from wool and weddings!

Mike also speaks to WI President Chloe Pyatt about where their ideas come from and their next meeting with a harpist.
