For generations, the men of my family had sheared the sheep and the women turned the fleece into wool skeins. The money gained allowed my great-great-grandmother to open a small factory and shop.
Despite many difficulties, the businesses survived but after the 2001 foot and mouth crisis, everything was lost. My siblings, cousins and I decided not to give up. We brought groups of sheep famous for their wool, rare sheep breeds, angora goats, angora rabbits and alpacas.
We made and sold specialist pure wool and mixes, thus building the family business back.

The Story Files 
That’s a great story. There’s a farmer on one of my walk-routes who keeps alpaca. I love to see them when newly shorn; they look kinda cartoony.
So let’s see what you make of next week’s prompt, posting on Wednesday.
