It’s been a bit of a wait as the demand for panels is understandably huge at the moment. Getting 40 fitted took two days for the roof work and one for the electrics. The PowerWall is sitting with US customs at the moment but should be with us shortly. Unfortunately this leaves us in a […]
In programs like Masterchef (I am very fond of these) they are always cooking x “three ways” e.g cauliflower puree, grilled and prepared au gratin. R doesn’t like this kind of thing so I never cook them – but here is Saphy three ways
Only time (so far) we have ever seen three pine martens at the same time. I would presume a mother and two young as they are generally solitary creatures.

She killed it and brought it in to R’s bedroom, strewing copious numbers of feathers over the carpet. We didn’t get our new car yet again […]
Great colour shots of the two martens who have been visiting recently We used to only see them in the daylight very rarely but since we got the two scared lady cats rather than the big male bruisers they seem to be coming more often.
We noticed Saphy and Amber patrolling round one of the armchairs in the lounge. We couldn’t see any sign of a rodent, but turning the chair on its side (having locked the girls in the bedroom) we managed to shake loose a little field mouse which was hiding in the base of the chair and […]
Apart from me, my whole family has birthdays in the spring. We were supposed to be having a dinner on 8th April, but two days before R was driving to Glasgow and stopped in Arrochar for petrol. Then the Land Rover wouldn’t start again and he was left standing in the cold at the petrol […]
Two pine martens. I think one of them is a young one and the other is the mother as martens are very territorial and one of them seems a lot smaller than the other. The woodpeckers are out in force at the moment.
