We bought a Suffolk tup from Lettermore on the side of Loch Frisa, a handsome Herdwick from James Rebanks in Cumbria but we still needed several Blackface tups.
We went up to Glengorm and bought a tup from there, and we bought one from the Dalmally Tup Sale. Then our friend RM gave us a tup she didn't need any more. So we had all we need.
Still days. Some sunny, some not.
And some very strong auroras. 99% of Aurora activity is seen to the north but on this particular night the activity was so strong, we could see it to the west (as in these photographs) and the south. These pink rays were visible to the naked eye.
