| Bob took a new career direction when he retired from the civil service, and now runs [Bobcat Alpacas](http://bobcat-alpacas.co.uk/) - an alpaca farm with an emphasis on producing high-quality fleece. While Bob's primary focus is on caring for and breeding his alpacas and the annual harvest and processing of their fleece, his business also offers alpaca trekking and educational and therapeutic visits. | |
