There had been a request from my flute duet partner, Mandy, that we record a few flute pieces together for her father, who wanted to hear us play. Now, we first thought we could just do it on our phones but then, as there is a recording studio in the house, plus a pretty expert […]
To Town | My Shetland
I had a day out in town today. A scheduled eye check-up first and then I wandered about just enjoying time away from my usual home routine. I did a spot of shopping…. And I even bought myself some new shoes. I am very pleased with them and the first thing I noticed was just […]
A Peaceful Kinda Day | My Shetland
I’m feeling a bit low after the sad Baby Bunny news. I wanted it to live so much but this was not to be. I know it was just one little baby bunny and the whole world is littered with them, but even so. I do mind. It’s a loss. So I went to have […]
Rugs off, Rugs On | My Shetland
A lovely morning so rugs off and everyone said they wanted to go back to living on the track again. This is Silver – he is revolting. I am not going to brush anyone yet. Winter coats are beginning to fall out but it is not all that warm yet. The rest of my morning […]
Wee Bun Update | My Shetland
I dropped by my neighbour yesterday to deliver some specialist feed syringes that has just arrived in the post off Fleabay. Although Baby Bun is not living with us as it is in the more than capable hands of my neighbour (and I would be useless), I feel totally responsible for this addition to their […]

Sitting Outside | My Shetland
I haven’t sat outside with my ponies for what feels like ages. It has just not been the weather. Too cold, or too wet, too winter or too meh. But, after putting up some more electric fence posts to strengthen the fence, I had an empty feed sack (originally had the posts in to carry […]
Storm Kathleen | My Shetland
Yesterday was so nice. Today is utterly vile with Storm Kathleen doing her worst. The spring flowers were beginning to come out – I bet they regret that decision. These photos are from yesterday on my dog walk. The primrose bank by the burn. And Celandine – my most favourite flower. I remember a school […]
Baby Bunny Update | My Shetland
My neighbour sent me this beautiful photo yesterday so I popped by this morning to have a progress update and to see Baby Bunny for myself. The fact that BB is still alive is totally because of my neighbour and her family. They are all doing their absolute best for this little one. No one […]
