Eplekake
Making cakes is not really my thing but the ducks have been laying well and we have a lot of eggs to use up. So I made my variation of a Norwegian Eplekake (apple cake). Leftovers were the mixing b…

What Colour is Gussie?
Just a quickie, because I am going out tonight (I know, get me. I have a social life!) My question is what colour, in Shetland terminology for Shetland wool, is Gussie? His mother, Dahlia, is ̶…

Can anyone tell me what colour is Gussie these days?
Internet Headache
I have a headache. It is an internet one. Everything was running smoothly and going well until the last few days. It is all over the place now. I thought I had everything sorted. I was feeling…

The Fight Continues
My internet battle has not changed despite all my best efforts. Last night, I ended up re-setting everything, taking away two extenders so we are now down to just one. My thought being there would…

My internet/broadband battle is not over.
Sea Fishing
If you know one thing about me, it is that I hate boats. I am terrified of them and there are many reasons:- They make me feel sick (all of them). I hate getting in and out (I fell in once). Peopl…

Sharing and Not Sharing
Some share better than others. It depends. (This morning I found Fivla and Vitamin in the wee shed together so I popped both their buckets in). Waffle is a kind pony and will always share his bucke…

More Weather
You know me and my obsession with the weather. Well, it was on full force today confirmed by Gulberwick Weather’s forecast on Facebook. And, according to Yr.no, it is never going to stop rain…

Weather panic so put on rugs. In ruddy August!
A New Piece of Kit
I will admit that I do find stabbing away every afternoon making my hand-felted sheep quite difficult at times. I have a terrible habit of tensing my jaw while gritting my teeth and this is not go…

I bought a new piece of kit to help me with my felting.
A Sudden Shower
OH took the dogs out for a walk this morning and with that the heavens opened. Not just a small shower, but a sudden humungous downpour of Biblical proportions. He came home with the dogs comple…

It was a lovely sunny day and then suddenly it wasn't and everyone came home like a drowned rat!
Augean Stables
Skippy is back on the road now, which is great news and so I thought I would use this morning to muck out the sheep shed which I have noticed was becoming increasingly smelly. I told myself I would…

It’s My Birthday!
As a child, I always thought “the Glorious Twelfth” was named solely in honour of me and my birthday. Apparently, I was wrong. Also for today, I get a solar eclipse (it is currently clo…

The Last of the Flowers
Daisy and I went for a lovely walk with the dogs in Clothie – my separate five acre croft land that is a little way into the open hill grazing. Having climbed the hill, I sat on an old window…

The flowers are beginning to die back now. There is definitely an autumnal feel.
We Made a Picture
I had a project I’ve been meaning to do but I knew I would need help, ie someone with artistic flare. I chose Daisy. Lucky Daisy, though possibly not because she did most of the work. I keep …

A Very Busy Morning
I knew I had a lot to fit in this morning, so I got up an hour early to get the chores over and done with before everything started. And on the dot of 9 our farrier, Jay arrived. Punctuality is no…
