Tora wearing the “Baby Shark” costume I’ve made him to wear over Christmas. I think the tail piece could do with some work as the fin isn’t standing up correctly. His brother will also be featuring as “Schrodi the Argyll Dragon”. Neither of the cats are overly enthusiastic about their new roles. I will point […]
The river is about as high today as I have seen it since the first year we moved in. That was the year it rained every day between September and March. Anyway, today it is a total raging torrent and I would not give much for the chances of anyone who fell in. Our pond […]
I may have mentioned this before, but for some reason we are designated as a remote postcode, even though we are only just over an hour’s drive from Glasgow. We are in the PA range, and I’ve even seen some websites where this entire range is included as a remote postcode which is a bit […]
Ages since I wrote in the blog. I’ve been away on holiday in Spain. We had a great time – we were staying in Madrid but we also went to Toledo, Segovia, Avila and Ananjuez The best thing we did was going on a Segway tour of Madrid. I really liked riding the Segway, I […]
I’m away in Spain at the moment but R informs me that the deer pack are back at home. I hope they are not ripping the bark off the trees.

We paid a surprise visit to Mum and Dad yesterday for Halloween. I was a witch (some would say appropriately) and R was the Spirit of Death – complete with Scythe. I was a bit disappointed that my Mum immediately realized it was me when I opened my mouth to do my guising piece which […]
This is our new solar panel which we are using to power lights for our shed. The old greenhouse on the same site had wired power from the house, but when we got rid of it we never got the new shed we replaced it with connected up. I had a feeling that getting the […]
Our two foxes are back every night now. They are a lot more skittish than the badgers and run off if anyone even approaches the window, so we only ever really see them properly in the webcam. The funny thing about them is that I would have expected them to hate the badgers, but they […]
