0:03:08 > 0:03:13Cute and fluffy and the perfect hiking companion, it would seem.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Little wonder that when Holly Hagg Farm in Sheffield

0:03:15 > 0:03:18invited people on Facebook to come and walk its alpacas,

0:03:18 > 0:03:21thousands of people signed up.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24The first year we had them, we got incredibly popular

0:03:24 > 0:03:26because everybody wanted to see the alpacas.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29We really started it up in earnest this year,

0:03:29 > 0:03:33started advertising, and that's when we went viral.

0:03:33 > 0:03:37In fact, the farm in Crosspool has had to put on extra treks to deal

0:03:37 > 0:03:40with demand and is now asking alpaca lovers not to turn up

0:03:40 > 0:03:42unless they have booked.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01with the profits going back to the farm.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05Remember, you have to book.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Onto the weather now,

0:04:09 > 0:04:11and thanks to Stephen Garnett for sending in this stunning photo.

0:04:18 > 0:04:19Hello again, good evening.

0:04:19 > 0:04:20It's been really quite warm today, hasn't it?

0:04:20 > 0:04:22But turning much cooler overnight tonight.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25All this cloud and a bit of drizzle sinking down towards the south-east,

0:04:25 > 0:04:26that's a cold front.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28So temperatures afterwards are going to feel a bit colder,

0:04:28 > 0:04:29certainly under clear skies,

0:04:29 > 0:04:31as we head through to the early hours.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34Lows overnight of six or seven, so a chilly start to tomorrow.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36But some initial brightness, some dry weather around tomorrow.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Just a few showers and a bit of variable cloud popping up

0:04:39 > 0:04:40through the afternoon.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43These will be quite heavy, I think, along the east coast.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44Temperatures tomorrow back to normal -

0:04:44 > 0:04:47highs of about 12 or 13 degrees.
