Well it has been a hectic week, I can tell you. I really feel ready for this cup of tea. I have already blogged (if that is a verb) much of the happenings on the croft this week, but here are one or two bits and pieces that might have otherwise missed the cut.
The Autumn season moves on into it's second month - an Dàmhar (pr davaar), which means the rutting time. The leaves are turning now, and the browns and golds are covering the land.
While some parts of the mainland experienced an unseasonal heatwave - temperatures of 29 deg, I was told - we have been enjoying our usual mix of weathers here. Glorious sunrises, heavy rains and high winds, and then spectacular sunsets.
and the odd day of blue - blue skies - reflected in glassy calm seas.
You might have met the piglets in a previous post. They have calmed down a bit more, and there have been no more escape attempts today. Just snoozing in the warm morning sun, and settling into their house tonight - with a lot of jumping and running around in between.
We have had surprise presents in the post from lovely friends who are coming to stay with us in a few weeks time.
And we have played all afternoon on the beach. We never ever tire of this, and it really sets us up for another busy week.
I hope that the sun rises on a wonderful week ahead for you all. xxx
so pleased our stories arrived

ReplyDeleteHope you manage to put your feet up a bit more this week.
I could have done with a walk on your beautiful beach this weekend, it has been so hot here, I'm not really a hot weather person.....your sunsets are truly magnificent. x

ReplyDeleteHello there! Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog. I'm so glad you commented, coz now I've found your wonderful blog! Off to read some more! :) xx

ReplyDeleteOoh and to have moorland and the sea! Precious.
What lovely photographs. I especially like your deep pink sunset! And the piggie-wigs too of course. Sending you good wishes for the first week of October.
ReplyDeleteSo still here in Orkney you could hear the chugs of the ferries engines on Sunday. Severe gales today, very changeable.
ReplyDeleteLove it when folks send goodies in the post. Enjoy and recharge. X
So wonderful! I've been a little over my head in the world of homeschool these last few weeks. It's so nice to find time to enjoy your blog again.
ReplyDeleteSide note, I recently read a (young adult fantasy fiction) book recently that featured a Scotsman. I became so enthralled with him that I started to google video clips of Scottish accents just to imagine his voice. Pathetic, maybe. But it's true! (also, it's probably the beer that makes it seem okay to admit this to you.)
Much love,
Amanda
you live in such a beautiful part of the world. I'd love to live near the sea and to be able to walk on the beach every day *sigh*. always look forward to your blog :-)
