  • Another bit of a photo dump, the taper is a really nice guy who’s subcontracting and doing a cracking job (both the builder and the joiner have said so in passing). He’s just got a little up high to finish off tomorrow then sanding down on Tuesday for me to get started painting next weekend. He was on the way out to a quick job on another island today and sent me a photo of the house from the water. The field across the road is packed with wee lambs right now.

    Everything in the polytunnel is looking really good (we’ve been told to plant a month late up here, but that the length of day let’s the plants catch up). The kale and chard from the polytunnel last winter, as well as a few extra broccolis, have now gone in the planticru we built a couple summers ago to keep them sheltered from the wind. Finally got round to filling it with soil instead of just sitting things in tubs in it.

    We’ve also got some nesting oystercatchers in the bottom of the field who are used to us and don’t get scared of us as long as we’re a decent distance away. The arctic terns have come back in the last week or so too. Not settling on the shore yet, but at least 4 or 5 of them around just now, fingers crossed!
