Late January already

Suddenly it is Friday. Where has the week gone?


In trips to Ballygown...


In dog walks...


Feeding hens..


Feeding hoggs...


Feeding tups...


Changing over the invertors on the wind turbines...


And more... The builders have been busy down at Haunn.  East and Middle bedroom floors are being renewed, with underfloor insulation and refloored using the reclaimed flooring we used in West - part of the Hermitage Academy Assembly Hall in Helensburgh.  It looks brand new!


On Tuesday when Farmer was in Oban, A and J had arranged for the jeager to come with a load of concrete.  Unfortunately it took more than they had expected so we needed a second load.  While they were waiting for that they started insulating and cladding the outside walls of Middle Cottage bathroom.  Not only will it be warmer but it will look better too! 



Farmer went to Oban on Tuesday to sell our cast tups and stray lambs. He took a few tups and lambs for 2 of our farming neighbours too, to save them going - he borrowed a larger trailer than ours, so he could fit them in.


The days ARE getting longer, but when we do see the sun, it is not that high in the sky yet.


The Cheviots and Zwarties are in the Haunn field, a valuable part of the grazing plan.
