Got some annuals that actually grow

 For the first time Jill actually picked some annuals for this year that actually survived the weather.

Jill dug the last bit of drainage ditch today. Pipe in place!it will now drain into the burn.

It was fairly wet most of the day, but Jill did get out to go and see if the puffins at Huxter have left yet. They haven't and they were having a bust up with the black Guillemots.

The area around Huxter loch is always pretty and it was clear over to Foula and Papa Stour.

A quick check of Melby just added Black backed Gulls and an Arctic Skuas.

To finish, a nice family group of whoopers

Off like a rocket

 Yesterday was PA day so Jill picked Mark off and headed for  an Unsty day. Mark hasn't spent much time in Unst so we did some exploring.

westing, 

He fixed it!

 Baltasound, for lunch. Skaw,

Mark did well getting down to the beach

Haroldswick, Muness, Uyeasound, Hermaness

Norwich,

 and Belmont.

It was awesome.

We stopped for a chat at a friend's house, Jackie, on the way back. 

Today, Jill did some weeding and we had lots of cleaning to do as we have been full.

We have some electrical work being done so Jill refund all the bits we needed. It's been a while since we used them.

We had a quick trip to Tesco's as we have had some late bookings and saw some grouse.

We also watched a Bonxie ripping up a dead gull.
