January 2012

A fresh new year and thankfully only an acceptable amount of snow so far! Plenty time yet though.  The storms we endured on the 3rd of January, severely tested our humble wee cottage, but I am pleased to say it suffered no damage at all.  Although the farm and it's cottages were without power for 2 and a half days, the cottage with it's own off grid system was warm and cosy, we were very nearly knocking on the door and asking the tenants if we could borrow the bath!

Returning visitors this year should notice we have managed to lay some concrete and gravel at the rear of the building.  This should hopefully make too-ing and fro-ing from car/shed to house more enjoyable on these wet spells.

We are busy with sheep scanning at the farm and general winter feeding duties, spreading slurry etc.  Spring hopefully just around the corner.......
