We have cleared Nether Whitlaw of sheep, returning the flock to the farmhouse poly tunnel. Today we transported another nine sheep from Bowden, there is only four left now to transport from this grass keep before the tenancy finished on the 28th.
Morning photographs of sheep on Woodburn Farm paddock.
We get "stranger" swarmed by passing cars at Bowden, I am now taking pictures of them.

Charlie attempted to bypass the pipe but ran short of olives so left the job, at least for the evening, unfinished. Now the mud has frozen, I am awaiting the snow, winter is my favourite time in bonnie Alba, the land is so beautiful when complimented in snowy Whiteness.
The night has been very cold, a kind neighbour gifted us with two bags of logs, so at least we were inside a warm room. Whilst Charlie was outside, I persevered with the decorating job on the farmhouse hallway, this is now about 70% complete. I have not blogged about decorating much, as I wanted to keep inside the farmhouse private; this is Charlie's home that he lovingly shares with me.
