Everyone was sodden and they huddled around their haynet stuffing their […]
A Day in a Life

A Sad Day
It’s a sad day, here at Thordale. Black Ducky has died under the container while sitting on her second clutch of eggs this year. I told her to come into the hen-house or anywhere else apart from under the container but, no, she had to sit there and I expect something got her. It’s that […]
Happy 2nd Gotcha Day to Pepper
This time, two years ago, Daisy and I brought Pepper and her sister home on the boat. Pepper’s sister was quickly dispatched to her new owner and the two puppies went their separate ways.

Shearing Day | My Shetland
Shearing for all today. They needed it. The weather is very hot. Madge, of course, was awarded “Fattest Sheep I (my shearer) Have Ever Sheared” Award. She is large. And Lambie gazed adoringly. There were the usual arguments afterwards as they then couldn’t identify each other. But I am glad everyone is now sheared. Boy, […]
