Greetings all!
What a great Monday! I'm sorry if you've had rubbish starts to the week, as I haven't!!! Geoff left early to get to work so Jane and I had a leisurely cup of tea, (no milk!) at 8am then wandered out to the field to cut some willow.
The sun was shining, and it was a warm day. We worked in rows, cutting the shoots of willow and stacking them up. All I could hear were bird song, the stream running over the stones in the other field and the snip snip of the secateurs. Occasionally there would be a car driving by but generally it is incredibly peaceful here.
I still can't get used to the view...clearly I should move to be near water!
This is the view from my window.....Lucky me! I can't wait to go for a walk!
Today was a simple day, cutting the willow, breaking for lunch around 2pm, then I went out and did a bit more cutting while Jane nipped into Dalmellington, (even though the drive there is about 15 mins!)
We also looked after some plants in the polytunnel. It got to -1.5 degrees last night, but the sun was so hot today! I was shedding clothing as I worked because I'm used to needing so many layers!
You can find any of the Loch Doon photos in my Picasa web album here.
That's enough from me at the moment, I'm off to order a tapestry kit to keep me busy in the evenings!
Oy! So beautiful!
