Feb. 26 Julie rides to the village by Llama Trotting along the lanes of Malton Yorkshire on her mount, 15 year old Julie Cook generally causes quite stir for she is mounded, not on a horse but on a Llama. Julie father bought Liberty, the llama for 150 from the nearby Flamingo Park Zoo as a pet and promised him to Julie if she could break him in. She has now been riding, or trying to ride him for a year, and has at last succeeded in teaching him to be obedient though he does have a mind of his own, and likes to go his own way occasionally.

The Cook family, who live in Kirby Misperton, now have quite a collection including two ponies, eight dogs and a bear.
