That was a good one!

 Christmas was amazing. We ate and drank too much. Marks cocktails are amazing and Sarah made the best fruit flan ever. The only thing was, it looked like a blood bath when cut!

We also had some super presents.

Even better when on the way home the car flushed an owl from the roadside. We are pretty sure it was a tengmalms owl but it was soon lost in the dark.

Today we went back to have another look, but couldn't find it. We did also pop over to yell to deliver some photos of the Northern Long tailed tits we saw in October. We just wanted to say thank you to the owners of the gardens who where very welcoming. Still being welcoming, we got a lovely  cup of coffee and a chat with Magnus and his mum.

Whilst waiting for the ferry, we watched a lovely drake goosander.

Have a good Christmas

 We are all ready for Christmas. 

It's been quite a nice week, mild but a bit windy. There have been some amazing sunsets.

We haven't been out much this week but  have worked a bit more on the floor. I think we put too much water in the tile cutter!

 We did get out today and sat and ate lunch in the harbour. Bizarrely , we had a fly past from the kingfisher. Most definitely not mind blowing photos.

There was some nice diver and eider activity.

The harbour was looking lovely.

We had a quick look for some snow buntings in Lerwick at a new spot for us.bjill did find at least 11 but it was almost dark.

We did a bit of last minute shopping and came home.

Have a lovely Christmas 

Christmas carer party.

 It's continued being very wet and windy with some stunning rough seas. Definitely wouldn't fancy being on the ferry!

Watsness was stunning.

Jill didn't fancy going on the beach as the waves would have been over head height.

Yesterday, Jill did a bit more of the flooring.

Just a few fiddly bits left to cut.

Then Jill headed to town to meet up with Sarah for our carer Christmas lunch at Fjara. It was lovely and a good natter was had.

We are still working on our issue with the plumbing company. They have not responded so we have logged the complaint with the body that licence air source heat pump installers. We now have to submit a report with all the details. It looks like there will be help to sue too. We can't believe they are continuing with their stance of refusing to speak to their insurers, it could mean they lose their licence to trade.
