Mountain Biking

After feeding the cade lambs I took my mountain bike for a ride through the Borthwick valley.

I I purchased this mountain bike from a seller on Facebook Marketplace, she let the bike go for £100.

Forestry people busy hauling logs.
Craik Forest logging.

I'd aimed to take some photographs with my bridge camera, and was left a little disappointed until I returned to the farmhouse and found this Chaffinch on a fence post.

This bird moved to fast to steady my camera and allow for focus.
Been waiting to get a picture of one of these for a while now.

Sleepy lambs in the poly tunnel.

There are only three ewes left to lamb, this year there has been half the ewes of last year, yet almost twice as many lambs; we have seven cades to look after.

Last game of Carpet bowls before a break; we left early, after becoming knocked out of the rounds.

In the evening Charlie drove us to Forman hall to played Carpet Bowls, the last game of this year, at least until darker, colder evenings become apparent. Majority of people who live and work in the Borthwick valley are farmers. Sidney and his son Ross Anderson won carpet bowls; how can this be?
