Images of Feburary 2014

The weather here in the Highlands has been windy and wet but no where near as traumatic as the weather in England and Wales and luckily it has enabled us to get on with a few jobs around the croft. Here are a few images of February.

We do love a big skip ! Supplied by an obliging neighbour, thank you Murdo Macrae

and we filled it to the top !

All the old iron and the old roof has gone for recycling

How nice it is to see the grass again.

Our neighbour's sheep taking no notice of the view

Wilma running just for the fun of it

"I've been very good, so where's my bone ?"

The old chicken shed about to fall over in the next gale.
18 hens = 6/8 eggs a day = £1.40 income a day ( less feed/ straw/ housing/ time... ) economic ?

A full rainbow over the croft, too wide for the camera lens.
