LONDON
\n (Reuters) – Stuck for romantic inspiration with Valentine’s Day just
\n a week away? Then consider llamas.<\/p>\n
A charity with the slogan "get calmer with a llama" is offering
\n romantic country strolls for the lovelorn, leading a llama together around
\n the picturesque Lake District in northwestern England.<\/p>\n
"Chatting over a llama is certainly a novel way to meet people in
\n a relaxed environment, and participants can enjoy a romantic picnic afterwards
\n —
\n carried by the ever obliging llamas in their backpacks," said owner
\n Mary Walker.<\/p>\n
Walker, whose Lakeland Llamas charity helps the disabled, is keen to assure
\n lonely hearts that contrary to their bad press, the South American relatives
\n of the camel do not habitually spit at or bite people but are in fact friendly
\n and docile.<\/p>\n
