A lot has happened this month
and the sun has shone and the chickens are laying well.
and the sun has shone and the chickens are laying well.
and the removal lorry cometh !!!
The all important armchair and foot stool
came off the lorry first
and then the pack of playing cards !
Mum looks like she's got a good hand.
Lots of boxes still to unpack and sort out
but at least now Mum and possessions
are all in one place
and solar panels and building regulation insulation
means that she will never be cold again
even in the Highlands !
When the pond froze over and I filled a tin bath
for their drinking water
I didn't think they'd bath in it !
should have known better.
Wilma tries to make friends with most animals,
including our borrowed sheep...
she's not so sure of this one though.
Wilma prefers her band of boyfriends..
but all that chasing about is very tiring
and rest and relaxation is then the order of the day !
You can see why she is a rough-coated terrier !
always has that
"pulled-through-a-hedge-backward" look.
Some images on a sunny day
driving through the Torridons.......
a long forgotten trawler
and a long forgotten petrol pump
a lovely harbourside stone wall in Diabeg
a local heron
anyone fancy a building project ?

Thank you for all my birthday wishes
at the beginning of the month,
I enjoyed my birthday swim in the loch
not in my birthday suit
you'll be pleased to know !
I just love this next photo and caption,
sent to me by my crazy, Sunday-morning-swimming friend
