IT is not every day that an alpaca pays a visit – but Cornish Times staff were delighted to welcome two to the office in Liskeard this week.

Little Man the alpaca was the winner of our Christmas pets photo competition, and together with his best friend Fleur, owner Senara Collings and handler Matt Richardson of Hendra Farm, he visited to receive his prize.

A £25 voucher for The Pet Shop in Liskeard was presented by employee Mel Dimmick, and Lilla Dark of the Cornish Times.
