Doesnt look much like a frog

 Jill likes orchids so after not finding a frog orchid the first time, we headed back to Unst and the Keen of Hamar.

We had a tip that there were some on a grass verge by the shop but unfortunately it had been recently moved. This is very close to the Keen of Hamar so we went back.

Very kindly there was a sign just inside the gate showing where one was. Actually ( sorry orchid) it's very small and very underwhelming, but we have now both seen one.

Not sure why someone things t looks like a frog!

New flower was Slender St Johns Wort, Heath Milkwort and Northern Rock Cress.

Shetlands rarity, Edmonton Chickweed

Several other plants doing well in a barren landscape too.

Rob spent a while with a Wheatear family. Will download his card tomorrow.

While waiting for the ferry, Jill went for a walk along the coast path.

We got home to find Jim had been busy on the path. It's looking really good.

New footpath

 The last of the trees went in today. Another 18 mainly in the field. Fingers crossed they do OK.

The table had three costs of varnish and is looking amazing.

The delivery with the new heating was supposed to arrive today as they are coming Monday to put it in. Of course, it didn't arrive. Hmmm.

Jill then had a look at the new path to the front door. Lots of soil, Rock and pottery removed. Will do a photo of the shards when it's finished or there will be one everyday!

6 barrows of soil and 3 of rubble removed so far.

Geri has been super cuddly today.

Trees!

 We did a tip trip today to get rid of the last window. Yay!. We also went to the Shetland Amenity trusts tree sale. It was terrific. Found the 50p odds and sods pile and came back with over 40 trees!

 Guess what Jill did this afternoon.

One or two we aren't totally sure on but we got whitebeam, larch, alder, spruce, elder, Downy birch, fuscia, oleander, Cotoneaster, rhododendron, willow,  a random orchid and a foxglove.

Most have gone in today but Jill is clearing an area in the field for the last 12 tomorrow.

Pleased to find a ragged Robin flowering in the field. 

In between planting the table got its last sand. Pleases with the join where the bit fell off. You really have to look to see it now.

Busy day. Our new heating arrives tomorrow. It should finally go in next week.

Just some Phalaropes

 Got a bit soggy in the showers!

Jill went for a short walk to a new big of Fetlar, Everland.

1,000 's of orchids 

And a large ruin with a terrific view.
