Summers arrived

 It's about time we had more than a day in a row of sunshine. The cats have enjoyed it.
Also , this allowed for a bit of time in the garden, so, Jill got to digging a trench for the stable electricity cable. It was hard going due to getting through the old cobbles with a pick axe.

It also means we finally had some lovely sunsets.

We had a quick trip to Melby to get away from the paperwork still being created by the issues we had with the heating company. It was quiet.

The flowers are still doing well.

Heather

 Got to love the colours of August. The heather is gorgeous this year.

Jill has been working on new mug designs as we had sold out.

We have had some good luck. We had our first pair of swallows nesting in the barns and they fledged one chick. The first nest failed so we are chuffed. First fledgling swallow at Watsness.

We haven't had much chance to get out, but Jill popped out for a bit today. Just a wander to Melby.  Nice hare on the way.

Melby was quiet but some fisherman were throwing out fish offal which was bringing in gulls , terns and kittiwakes.

It was nice to get a short burst of good weather. Bit cloudy for the sunset though.
