Read MoreRest and be Thankful
R and I went to Dumbarton today to get some shopping and pick up J who is looking after our cats for the weekend while we go to see my parents. It was a lovely sunny day and I don’t think I have ever seen ‘The Rest’ looking quite so spectacular. As ever I took […]

Read MoreCats and Sheets
There is something about new freshly washed sheets that cats love. Yesterday I changed our bed – and they were both on it within ten minutes and made royal pains of themselves all night. Today I prepared a bed for J who is coming to look after them this weekend. I turned my back for […]

Beautiful sunset here tonight with a few clouds just catching the last rays of the sun.

Read MoreSnowdrops in the snow
Bitterly cold today, particularly down by the Loch with a biting wind from the north. There’s also plenty of snow still on the ground which is annoying the two sheep (which are still in our garden). But I noticed the first spring flowers today so I suppose it must be on its way eventually.

Read MoreA lovely Winter day (condensed version)
While we were out walking on Sunday we left our time lapse camera running. I wanted to do a full dawn to dusk originally, but the morning turned out to be a bit boring – mainly because the weather was too nice with no moving clouds to speak of. So I cut that bit out […]

Read MoreSheep on a wall
There is a small ivy covered wall in the back garden here which is all that is left of the original lodge house which stood on this site and burned down in the 1970s. In the absence of being able to get at much grass through the snow, our resident escapees spent several hours eating […]

Read MoreGood walk this morning
R and I did the Tom a Chuilg walk today. It was interesting to see that although the snow has mostly gone at ‘Loch Level’, as soon as you walk up out of the valley it is still pretty thick on the ground. Once we got up on to the foothills around Beinn Donich and […]

Read MoreJamie must be one hell of a guy…
N & J are coming for dinner today and I thought I would make one of Jamie Oliver’s ’30 minute meals’ – in this case Swedish fishcakes with salsa, roast potatoes and alfafa salad. It is a lovely recipe and it all looks very nice (uncooked so far) but I really find it hard to […]

Read MoreFun in the Snow
More heavy snow overnight. Early this morning R and I cleared the drive which was quite a major task as there was about five inches on it and it is over 70m long and on quite a steep slope. We do know from previous bitter experience though that if we let it build up at […]
