It has been a cold and dry week here at Treshnish. We have escaped the snow, but it has been colder here than any early winter we can remember. Mostly bright and clear days.
Farmer has been on wood and water duty all week. We had frozen pipes to the cattle building, and several cottages ran dry too. A break in the weather meant the wood chip was delivered yesterday afternoon.
Water had to be carried up to the troughs for the bull and the hoggs in the cattle shed.
And the Treshnish water tank had to be bubble wrapped as we have not built an insulated shed round the new tank yet.
