[ad_1] Storm was having a snooze this morning. He wanted to get up but…… ….. the sun was shining and, you know how it is, he was feeling more and more woozy….. I love it when ponies lie out flat. Can you hear the snoring? Zzzzz….. The others were about having eaten themselves to a […]
Storm Kathleen | My Shetland
[ad_1] 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 […]
Summer Storm Hits the Valley
[ad_1] Nicholas helping with the clean up. While we were hoping for a weather change during one of our longest, hottest summers, it seems the weather gods took the memo a little too literally, sending us the most intense storm we’ve ever encountered in the Valley. The morning of the 16th of January was hot […]
Calm Before The Next Storm
[ad_1] Well, I think we can all guess what I said to myself when OH shouted up the stairs this morning “There’s a really good sunrise happening now”. Well this shepherd is well and truly warned. Tomorrow’s feeding routine is going to be fun – Force 7 gusting 10. Ick. Anyway, the skies have been […]
A Great Storm | My Shetland
[ad_1] Last night we had a mighty storm. The winds howled – 80mph at its worst – and we had some frequent snow blizzards too. I went to bed early while my little house shook. Pepper came with me. She wasn’t scared but she wanted to be close by. I don’t think Ted even noticed. […]
Storm Ready | My Shetland
[ad_1] “Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning“. We have ahead of us three days solid of gales, ranging from moderate to fresh (understatement of the ruddy year – it’s going to be bloody awful out there). So I went into action and moved the Minions to a much more sheltered field. I led Waffle […]
Preparing for the Storm | My Shetland
[ad_1] Tonight and tomorrow’s weather forecast is revolting and you know my obsession with the weather. I have at least 5 weather apps on my phone in the hope that one of them says everyone is wrong. Ever the optimist, that’s me! So I decided to move the oldies down to a more sheltered field. […]
Storm Update | My Shetland
[ad_1] Storm and Newt burst out of their stable this morning full of energy, leaving behind a stable full of poo! OH said while mucked out that he didn’t think two little ponies could produce so much! So today has been similar. Painkillers, small meals, regular and often and a 5 minutes trot every two […]
