A Day under Haar

November 22nd. The morning started as a really beauty, as forecast, clear blue sky and the possibility of a bit of a heat from the sun but, nature had other ideas. Around 11 o’clock in the morning I wandered outside for temperature check and a look around, see what was occurring in general. … More A Day under Haar

The morning after my Walk into Sunset, I awoke to find it very misty outside and pretty chilly I might add! I shuffled through to the kitchen glancing out the windows with my misty eyes, still not full awake but capable of noticing nice light outside, I do like a bright, misty morning so ………… camera in hand, flip-flops and dressing gown on I headed out front, see what I might see. … More Following the sunset

The sky was dark, … More Along came September

That kitten just appeared on day, there are no cats on the farm, I’d seen no cats out and about on the surrounding land and yet, there it was and looking like it did, I had thoughts on it being a Scottish Wildcat hybrid and, I guess that’s still possible, some people I’ve spoken to when I’m out walking talk of wild cats in some of the glens, around five miles away, as the Crow flies so not an impossibility. … More When cats come calling

A tale of a cat

Back in August 2023, we’d been in our new home just over one year, mostly settled in to the house but still getting our bearings in the countryside and how it all works. I had taken up residence in the third, smallest bedroom and it was now my Den. I had the Mac set up … More A tale of a cat
