Nick strode round behind her.
“Don’t kick her!” I cried.
“I’d never do that,” he chided me. “But I will give her backside a heave upwards.”
And with that he grabbed her tail.
“Come on, girl, move your arse.”
He pulled her tail up. Before he could even begin to exert any pressure, Holly was on her feet. I guessed it was the indignity of having her lady llama bits exposed that made her shoot up, or perhaps it was the blast of cold night air on them once the warm, furry cover was removed. Anyway, she was on her feet and we were in business.
It hadn’t occurred to me that Holly might not want to co-operate in this crazy Christmassy escapade. I’d merrily assumed she’d happily comply with our plans. She was decidedly reluctant to come out with us into the snowy outdoors. She’d been very happy in her cosy den. I had to pull very firmly on the leading rope, and Nick gave her a few slaps on the behind before she finally accelerated out of a dawdle into a slow walk. At this rate the service would be over before we got to the church.

And come back in January to win a copy!

Hi, I’m Stephanie Dagg.
I’m an English expat living in France,
having moved here with my family in 2006
after fourteen years as an expat in Ireland.
I now consider myself a European
rather than ‘belonging’ to any particular country.
The last ten years have been interesting, to put it mildly.
Taking on seventy-five acres with three lakes, two hovels and one cathedral-sized barn,
not to mention an ever increasing menagerie, makes for exciting times. The current array of animals includes alpacas, llamas, huarizos (alpaca-llama crossbreds, unintended in our case and all of them thanks to one very determined alpaca male), sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, geese, chickens and turkeys, not forgetting our pets of dogs, cats, zebra finches, budgies and Chinese quail. Before we came to France we had was a dog and two chickens, so it’s been a steep learning curve. I’m married to Chris and we have three bilingual TCKs (third culture kids) who are resilient and resourceful and generally wonderful. I’m a traditionally-published author of many children’s books, and and am now self-publishing too. I have worked part-time as a freelance editor for many years after starting out as a desk editor for Hodder & Stoughton. The rest of the time I’m running carp fishing lakes with Chris and inevitably cleaning up some or other animal’s poop.
