unning behind, as ever! I blame the dreich. It feels like a looooong time since we had some clean, clear weather; it probably isn’t but the dull, wet, grey days we’ve been suffering recently are getting really wearing, they really do not help you feel your best but, it’s Winter right? And, I did keep saying we need rain, we’re definitely getting that right now. … More Weekly Digest

You may not remember but when I left you, I was down at the ponds, I’d just been admiring an Autumnal Acorn; I followed the tree line all the way round and back to the lane, not a path I take very often and one reason was that I started counting the apple trees on the patch. I’d reached five and was walking along glancing into the woods beside me, that’s where all the apples are, when I heard a screeching sound.

I drove back onto the farm yard and noticed a few birds around one of the big puddles left by the recent rain so I stopped the car and reached for the “big boy”, my joke name for the camera with a Sigma 150-600mm lens fitted 🙂 … More The Puddle Party
October 3rd 2025 – we drove back from Cellardyke, a day earlybecause Storm Amy was heading our way and the wind was getting up and it just felt right to get home before the full storm hit. We live on a hilltop, pretty exposed to the wind so we’d rather be here if anything happens … More Amy’s Weekend

I set off for a patch walk just after 3 pm, an unusual time for me to set off but, I wanted to go down to the mailbox and it’s not always delivered until well after 2pm or later so…. … More One of the eventful walks
We’re heading out today, over to Forfar for a walk around the loch, maybe grab a few nits’n’bobs and a bite to eat so, I’m off up the lane for a wander before we go, I’ll get collected en-route. Usual stops by the barns, round the back …. not a lot going on, no worries, … More Just a quickie!
