This morning started well – sunny and calm.  I listened to the birds while the horses were eating their breakfast.

Apparently, I heard a Common Redshank, a Eurasian Skylark and Curlew (I have an app on my phone that tells me this and can differentiate between horse munching and birds singing – clever, eh?)

I sat with Iacs as I needed him to eat his food in peace.  Behind, Haakon was being hassled by Kolka who had finished her bucket first and was on the rampage.

While those two were arguing, Iacs finished up without interruption.

Ever the silly-frilly.

Afterwards, and once everyone else was vaguely where I wanted them to be, I drove over to Monika’s to help her with an injection for a sheep.  This, I can do.

I took Pepper with me in case anyone wanted to go for a dog walk afterwards.  She loves going for a walk somewhere different and she and Harry, the puppy, run and run and run.

Luckily they did and we went for a superb dog walk over the hill in glorious spring sunshine.

Views don’t get much better than this, do they?  In the distance is Sandness Hill which is the highest hill in the West Mainland.  Many moons ago I rode my horse almost to the top. I will never forget that expedition.  The view was incredible and never to be forgotten.

Anywho, it is shitting down outside now and I must get Tiddles and old ladies inside a bit early as the weather is apparently only going to get worse.
