You have heard of "Be More Pirate" but have you heard of Be More Alpaca? An antidote to election non-news - it starts by considering some characteristics of alpacas and examples from my herd that demonstrate them.

After all, alpacas are:

• Calm–they rarely rush around, and their gentle disposition soothes those in their vicinity
• Graceful–they are such beautiful creatures you can’t help but smile when you see them
• Distinctive–don’t be fooled by their cute appearance, they have colourful individual personalities
• Shrewd–they weigh up the situation and carefully consider the options
• Hardy–they’re adaptable and cope well with the cold, though Welsh damp sometimes goes too far
• Inquisitive–they’re curious and interested in what’s going on around them, nothing gets past them
• Inclusive–how they look out for each other, especially for the youngsters, is heartwarming
