Busted a gut!

 Today's guests had a change of plan and needed to arrive before lunch, so, we busted a gut to get the rooms ready. Because we were done so early, it gave us the afternoon off and as our new friends didn't have transport, we invited them to join us on our local patch so we did Sandness and Skeld.


We started at Huxter which was lovely as usual and there were quite a few puffins. The light was pretty good too.

































Then we went to Melby




And we finished visiting Skeld, Reawick and the stunning Westerwick.

Out of focus sky!

 All three rooms needed making up today, so it was a busy day, and the grass needed cutting..

Rob was feeling poorly and has an infection so Jill went to pick up the prescription. Quick scout round found a smart curlew.









There were big groups of redshank about too.

The light coming home was peculiar. It made the clouds look like they had been drawn with pastels and smudged. An out of focus sky!






Got home and set the moth trap up. Will see what we have in the morning.
