Alpacas at Tewkesbury Hospital

This week colleagues and patients at two of Gloucestershire's community hospitals have welcomed a pair of special vistors from Cotswold Vale Alpacas.
Cosmo and Nigel embarked on tours of the wards at North Cotswolds Hospital in Moreton-in-Marsh on Monday (11 December) and Tewkesbury Community Hospital yesterday (Thursday 14 December).
Sixteen-year-old Cosmo has been showing two-year-old newbie Nigel the ropes, posing with colleagues, patients and visitors to spread some Christmas cheer.
The visits were arranged by Matron Julie Ellery, thanks to the generous support of the League of Friends of Moreton District (North Cotswolds) Hospital and Tewkesbury Hospital League of Friends, who funded the visits.
