We really have had some heavy showers. It's a good test to see the new drainage channel is in the right place.
Just need to move the water to the burn with some more ditch.
We went out for a bit with one of our guests, Caroline, just locally as it kept hailing. It was actually not too bad
Jill's wrist is still sore so she is taking it easy. She made up the PA day yesterday and spent the afternoon with Mark. The weather is still rubbish.
We had two new guests checking in today so we got all the chores done and the rooms ready by 10 am and then went out for a couple of hours. Firstly, going back to the Red necked grebe we found at Virkie as it is still there and showing well.
We stopped by the lovely Bigton bakery for some cheesy twists and headed back. On the way we checked Asta loch for the female ringed duck. It was distant but there.
Both our guests arrived safely and we had an amazing chatty evening. We are so lucky with our guests.
Nit of a change of plan. Jill was supposed to be heading out for her PA time. While reaching in to unplug the car the 60 mph wind caught and slammed the door, right on the hand.
So. It was off to a and e. Luckily there is no break, just a wee bit of floating chip, and a fair bit of damage to the carpal nerve ie. No feeling in thumb or 1 st finger. It could have been much worse.
Today, the feeling has come back and the bruise is starting to get pretty so it was back to work. Both of this weeks guests have had plans changed due to the weather. John went yesterday and Mingyang went today.
We did do some scenery checks on the way.
Bit more snow
We managed to get him on an earlier ferry.
It was actually a lull day though and was quite nice so we had a quick Melby check.
It's been very windy again. It blew the last bit of our extra tough chimney cowl off!!.
We have been busy with visitors, so not much time out, but today had a couple of hours wave watching.
And the purple Sandpipers were still there.
On the way home we had some super rainbows. In between hail showers
