Weird weather

 A quick trip to the shop with a quick stop en route at Burrastow.












Jill went for a walk down to the beach with Marcie, one of our lovely guests. It was actually nice. After a while a dark cloud appeared at sea, but all fine. Then it changed and came in land. Marcie got in first and got a bit damp, but Jill got soaked .






Today was PA day. The light was lovely some stunning reflections on the way over. You can't see the join!



We did get out for a drive and visited Twatt and Clousta. The weather was mainly good but that meant there were some corking rainbows.






Another amazing review from our new friends from Seattle Mark and Laura

Tale of two otters

 Sad to see our honeymooners head off this morning. We wish them all the best for their future. What a lovely couple.

Yesterday. We popped over to Skerries.  We had a nice red throated diver on the way. 




It was flipping freezing and had actually snowed over night but it was super to catch up with Baz and Emma on the ferry. We congratulated Baz on his new Dandelion book. If Baz doesn't know a type of Dandelion, it doesn't exist!

It stayed cold all day. We had a few chiffys, a Willow warbler, 2 redpolls, 12 swallows and 2 otters. One of Skerries and one were we ate our tea in Scalloway Harbour. Jill always gets excited seeing otters. Jill found a small patch of Danish Scurvy grass just starting to flower. It grows in Norfolk at the road edge as it likes salt 






































This one's called spot. Spot the otter!
