A week has gone by since I last posted here. How did that happen??!!! I've been busy with work, plus had some tiling done to showers so had K over from Stromness to do that. He's done a good job and was no bother to have around, but of course I felt obliged to run round with coffee, biscuits, bacon sandwiches, lunch etc! And the weather...well Spring disappeared for a while and we had gales, wind roaring, rain....oh it went on. Anyway here are a random selection of photos from the last week! Top of the post - a lovely Spring sunset (before the gales).
Sunset through the buds on the willow trees
A rainbow off the shell beach (between gales and showers)
Meanwhile I play with some settings on my camera! NOT an "old" photo at all....
Home baked shortbread (necessary to cope with the disappearance of Spring)
My attempts at feeding the wild birds are thwarted by Button and the hens....
And the hens are convinced that I have a limitless supply of food for them and follow me home, trying to get through the door after me!
While Button returns home to bask in the sunshine...
There - that was my week!
Love the picture of the boat. Very nice. And the shortbread on your pretty spring-y plate looks great. Sounds like a good week to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cinthia. Yes it was a lovely week!
DeleteWhat a lovely update. I was wondrin' where you were. Was your little island treed once upon a time ?
ReplyDeleteHi Sian,
ReplyDeleteI work from home too and spend as much time as I can watching my goofy chickens. But I yearn for a view of something other than my neighbor's house - a big sky like yours. Thanks for the lovely updates. I dream of the day when I take my laptop and internet connection off to a remote isle and make my living far from the city!
Well here's hoping your dream comes true one day too, as mine did!
DeleteMy dogs are also convinced that I have a limitless supply of food and am ready to feed them at a moment's notice.
ReplyDeleteAt least I can close the door on my hens! You must feel hunted in your own home ;-)
DeleteGorgeous photos as always, Sian. Sorry you've had gales and rain. We've had at least 4 days of complete calm with subsequent daylong mist and drabness. Looking at the size of your flock of hens, how many chicks do you reckon they will raise this year? :-)
ReplyDeleteGales have stopped now and sun is out. Yippeee! I'm hoping to rehome another dozen hens so the flock should be reduced before any start going broody. But yes I'm a bit worried about how many I might get this year. Hoping I can find their nests easier!! Maybe I need to put GPS antenna on them so I can track them ;-)
DeleteWhat lovely snapshots of your week. They make me smile. :) Your shot of the rainbow tail is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love rainbow tails almost as much as full rainbows. They offer just a glimpse of beauty.
