We Love Alpacas
Alpacas for lifestyle farming
So, we’ve made the move.

29 Oct 2009
Goodbye London UK, hello Tauranga NZ. And – oh boy – we’re so glad to be here. So phase one of our plan is in effect: get settled, establish our core web design business and get to know the local alpaca farmers in the greater Bay of Plenty region (first up – Surico Alpaca whose white suris we spotted as we went on a recent jaunt to Lake Tarewera).
WeLoveAlpacas on hold
Unfortunately the worst GBP/NZD exchange rate since the 80s has forced us to postpone plans for a lifestyle block and setting up our WeLoveAlpacas operation. Still, it’s not all bad – our revamped web design site was featured on moluv.com, business is busy and we’re excited to be creating an online shop for an international fleece company at the moment. Cue lots of amusement at the fantastic supplier photography and subject matter we’ve got to work with. We’ll keep you updated on the launch. It’s going to be a beautiful site…

About us
We're Anthony & Adeline and we run a canvas prints business. We packed in our jobs in London and in October 2009 we moved to Tauranga in New Zealand. Aiming for a little more balance in life, we hope to shift our focus over to alpaca breeding.

Glad you made the move! Hooray!
These things ALWAYS take longer than you think/hope. Wish you could get USA alpacas. The dollar is in the toilet too. Lol.

Congrats for your move. I also did what I mentioned in the Fall; left the boring ad agency and established my own feel-good Digital_Alpaca company [http://www.digitalalpaca.com.
Best of luck to you guys! Cheers!
