I thought this was quite a touching image of the local bull and his harem. He is very gentle and will let you walk right past you without any reaction. I sometimes feel a bit sorry for the Highland Cows being out in all weathers. They are obviously well designed for the conditions however – […]
This is a shameful rip off of “Sad Cat Diary’ – my all time favourite on Youtube.
It has been snowing off and on all day today. The hills look quite spectacular but it has been exceedingly cold. This afternoon I walked over to the shop at the holiday camp and got some good photos, including one of a species of duck I haven’t seen before. We also saw a sheep in […]
In common with a lot of other people in the Highlands we lost power overnight on Friday. In our case we were lucky enough to get it back by 7pm, though many other people were out for three whole days. During this outage we really discovered how woefully unprepared we actually were. We didn’t have […]
BT take a lot of flak about lack of response to logged issues… I have to say that they entirely exceeded expectations with regard to our most recent outage. Overnight on Thursday the huge storm toppled a tree into the Donich and completely snapped the telephone cable. We logged the fault with our ISP (Andrews […]
When R and I first moved to Lochgoilhead, we were seriously impressed by the number of shells, particularly mussel shells, along the shore front road through the village. We almost though it could be otters (having seen some great videos of otters playing on Victoria Pier in the centre of Lerwick at night). However we […]
To illustrate my point of the other day – the video is of the birds emptying the large feeder in just over an hour…. As you can see it is large down to the four large (well fat actually) jays. The little birds are also polishing over their seed at the same time…
After the foul weather yesterday it was beautiful again today and we walked out to the end of the Loch. Before we went out I filled the large bird feeder with nuts and also put out about 500g on the ground. By the time we came back (about an hour and a half later), the […]
I bought a time lapse video camera for R for his birthday. We tried this out for the first time yesterday and even if I say so myself it is super cool. I can’t wait to see the output from a really wild and windy day – but even this somewhat cloudy one is really […]
Yesterday the weather was fabulous, today it is very cold (probably about -2) and freezing fog such that I can’t even see the bottom of the garden, much less the Weather Benn. This would of course also be the day I bought a cool time lapse camera for R’s birthday. We’ve set it up at […]
