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 […]
It is R’s birthday today. I won’t say which one – but as we have been together for twenty years come 2015 it would be fair to say that he may now be considered middle aged. There also may be a clue in the picture of the bottle of wine which I bought for him […]
I made a picture compilation with music…
I’m sure I have written at length about beautiful walks before, but today took the prize. We had thought the weather would be good today, so last night I baked a loaf of bread for sandwiches, and we got up at 7am today so as to be on our way as soon as it got […]
Well we had a lovely Christmas and my guests all went home today. Donich Cottage proved a real hit with them and it was quite fun playing the lady of the manor with the cottage and the ‘big house’. After people had gone, R and I walked right down to the end of the Inverlounin […]
The title says it all. A very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to everyone. The weather in Lochgoilhead today is fantastic (unlike last year when it poured with rain). We had a great walk by the Loch this morning, followed by presents (some lovely ones for me) and I am now cooking the […]
Well that is my Christmas preparations about complete. Thanks to my Mum doing a buffet supper down at her cottage, I am well ahead of the game. The presents are under the tree, the table is laid (and the door to the dining room firmly closed because cats, white tablecloths and crystal glasses don’t mix),the […]
Last night was an interesting one on Shed Cam. I had been getting a bit worried because we had not seen our badgers for a few days. Last night they were back (about 10 times during the night), but unfortunately although I ordered 50kg of nuts for them over a week ago they have not […]
