April days: lambing...

 

New rooves for Middle and West

Hugely grateful to JP, AP, and IMcD who did a fantastic job on replacing the rooves of Middle and West.  Don't they look great?  March 2025. 

 

New project continued

The kit arrived.

The jayger came and the cement was poured. 

The blockwork was done. 

 The founds were ready.

A new project

Visitors to Treshnish over the last few months may have noticed signs of something happening, along the track past the farm building towards Haunn.

This is where we are building a house.  A year ago we were barely taking the first steps towards this, and now here we are.. the kit arrives on site next week.  It will sit here for a few weeks before the builders come back to put it all together. 

A new year

 Happy New Year!

Waiting.. waiting..

That wonderful winter blue sky

That wonderful winter night sky 

And a strong Aurora lighting up the sky, to the east and the south and the west
