Asking, Always Asking
I took this photo on Sunday evening after we had finished supper. Nothing is ever wasted here, and OH was busy stripping the roast chicken joint for any meat before the bones were made into stock, …myshetland.co.uk
Everyone in this house always wants something.
Kolka Update
Kolka seems a lot more like her strong 32 year old self today. She is alert, interested and eating better, although still stiff when she walks but there is more range of movement in her hind legs. …

Kolka update today. She is getting better. Not out of the woods yet, but certainly enjoying the scenery.

We moved Haakon, Kolka and Iacs to a new field. Safest place for the old fogies.

Sørlandet – Oldest Tall Ship in the World
Ted had an appointment with his hair-dresser’s so I dropped him off and went on to town to get a few things. It was a lovely calm day and the harbour looked gorgeous. While I was driving in, …

Sørlandet, the oldest tall ship in the world. Truly beautiful.
Feeling Sorry for the Shetland Ponies
I was feeling sorry for the Shetland ponies (Waffle, Tiddles, Newt, Silver and Albie) who have been living on the track all summer. It must be very boring for them. And they’ve been so good,…

I am feeling sorry for the Shetland ponies who are on a permanent diet.
Kolka (again)
Oh crikey – where to begin. Floss and I got up very early and fed all the animals 2 hours before their usual time (I was driving her to the airport). It was just getting light but we could s…

I have no idea what is going on but Kolka has had another terrible accident.
No Idea What is Going On
I went out early worried at what I might find in the stable but Kolka, Iacs and Haakon were fine and wanting to leave. I gave them their breakfast and everyone was totally normal. Next I led Fivla …

Still none the wiser about Kolka. I am watching her like a hawk, though.
“It’s Got a Funny Taste”
Because I let the old Icleandic horses have the stable for one whole night, the sheep refuse to ever go in it ever again. “It’s got a funny taste” (our family saying for anything …

The sheep refuse to go into their shed because the horses have been in it and now it's different.
Sheep, Sheep and More Sheep
After their breakfast, I put all the sheep out into their field for the day. It was a nice bright start and so Bert went straight to “his” shed. Yes, that’s right, it’s Ber…

Bert takes up residence in the wee shed and Lambie now wants to move in.
The Vegetables
A short blog because I am exhausted. Again, my Saturday was my Friday and I went to Turriefield to weigh, pack and label vegetables for distribution. I find it a bit discombobulating when I swap da…

I don't why, but I feel exhausted. I would like to stop now, please.
Thank you. Hopefully it is healing well. I am keeping her drugged up (painkillers) for a while so it won't irritate her and semi-sedate her and her panic thoughts.
The Many Faces of Want
Everyone always wants something. Everywhere I go. Want, want, want. Monster ⬇️ – he wanted my last night’s pre-supper snack (mini cheesey biccies) accompanying my zero alcohol lager w…

Food is all everyone ever wants.
A Windy Weekend
It’s been a very windy weekend and everyone is feeling a bit blown about. (though, it hasn’t stopped anyone eating). Today was much nicer than yesterday which was interspersed by occasi…
