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
August 5th saw very few photos on the patch so I’ve combined them with those from the 7th. I’ve also decided to add my route for these walks, I wear a Garmin watch and (almost) always set it to record my walks. I started naming the routes I walk, more for a record of where … More August and all that Pt. 4
I remember this walk very well, August 3rd 2025 I met a wee friend that doesn’t show itself very often. Another hot, dry day and one of my “don’t really know which way I’ll go yet” walks! They mostly all start the same then ….. who knows? I know how to live right? 😉 … More August and all that Pt. 3

I always think of August as Summer here but it’s not really is it? Well, when does Winter begin and end? Our calendar tends to be divided into quarters; Jan, Feb, Mar etc. but those aren’t the seasons.

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!
The crop in the field behind the house was ready to be harvested and once gathered in, the remains baled up for storage/ … More Gathering in the harvest
As some of you know, I have a feeding post up by an old Oak tree on our lane and I was up there on March 14th this year, standing right by the post after dropping some food on it, when I looked down and a Pheasant was sneaking towards me. … More Meet a Pheasant!
I took part in the Big Butterfly Count this year on Monday 21st and will probably do a few more counts as the week progresses, I’d hoped to get out over the weekend but it was pretty miserable out there for most of it and Monday was ……… drier I guess is the best description. … More Big Butterfly Count 2025
Time to take a drive North and visit mum. … More Ardersier in June
