[ad_1] It seems a bit all or nothing with the weather these days and last night was no exception with torrential rain. I knew this was going to happen, as I watched the ten weather apps on my phone like a hawk, so rugs on Fivla, Vitamoobag and Tiddles and I had a worry-free night. […]
Garlic and more Garlic | My Shetland
[ad_1] It was Volunteer Saturday at Turriefield and I always ask if there is anything I could do which didn’t involve my back, as it’s still not great. Mostly they say no, as it is digging and weeding and stuff that would kill me. Anyway, garlic was mentioned and I arrived to a wheelbarrow full […]
Everyone Busy | My Shetland
[ad_1] A few photos from today (and yesterday). While I’m working away in my shed making sheep, Pepper likes to sit outside on the doorstep. She likes to watch the world go by and is usually very good, not wandering off (though I do call her back regularly if I find that she has mysteriously […]
Whingefest | My Shetland
[ad_1] Today is not my best day. My back is hurting badly and so I am not going to write much but I took these photos yesterday of my darling sheep and I think they are rather nice. I love how they look with all their wool in amongst the beautiful wild flowers around our […]
19p Celery | My Shetland
[ad_1] As we were in town on Saturday evening (for a lovely meal out – what a treat), we had to pop into Tesco’s for a few essentials beforehand. I found that celery had been priced down to 19p a plant, which is a total bargain. I scooped up about 10 packets, telling OH this […]
Rain and Flowers | My Shetland
[ad_1] It rained all morning but cleared up a bit later this afternoon. OH was doing a ten minute DIY job that ended up taking all day, so I was kind and offered to take the dogs out for him (when he’s home, it is his job). We went over to my five acre field, […]
A Happy Family | My Shetland
[ad_1] Completing my morning breakfast feeding chores, I turned around to see this little group together. It took my by surprise. When I laughed out loud, they looked at me like this was their family life and what was I making such a fuss about. Honestly, Mum, this is perfectly normal! Maybe I should start […]
Hungry | My Shetland
[ad_1] The Shetland ponies were all hanging around this morning, telling me that they were still hungry. And I felt bad. There is not much, if anything, to eat on the track and they should have some fibre in their bellies. “Horses have evolved to trickle feed daily for up to 18 hours….” – BHS […]
Trekking Poles | My Shetland
[ad_1] I am thinking about buying a pair of trekking poles for dog-walks. Currently, I am using my mother/step-father’s walking sticks to see if they help and, although heavy, I think they do. The pretty antler tops are utterly useless and actually annoying, as I tend to hold the sticks further down, so they are […]
Pepper’s Friends | My Shetland
[ad_1] I saw these three sheltering from the north wind when I was on the dog walk. They were all looking very *** cough *** well (I am almost thinking FAT, but I shall stop that now and tell myself they need all the calories they can stuff in for when winter arrives, which is […]
