Ride out
In need of exercise I took my mountain bike around the path of the North East side of Ancrum, following Ale Water north.
Shearing
After dwelling in my bungalow for twenty-four hours I was longing to go outside, Charlie calls this cabin fever. I've lived outdoors all my life, and travelling relaxes me so. We drove up to our grasskeep near Selkirk, and began shearing three sheep.
Deism
Deism; derived from Latin deus, meaning "god") is the philosophical position and rationalistic theology that rejects revelation as a source of divine knowledge.
B12
Today I travelled to Jedburgh on the bus, the journey cost £5.20 return. I received my B12 injection at Jedburgh Medical Practice.
River Teviot
Today I completed putting up CCTV surveillance at my new bungalow; other neighbours have these also for their own reasons. My neighbour attached to me says she and her husband moved back to Scotland in the 70s appalled by CCTV in Blackburn, England. Its much, much worst now I told her!
Ancrum village
It's been almost a fortnight since I moved to the Scottish Borders village of Ancrum; and found I very much like living here.
Sheep
Early morning Charlie drove to our grass keep near Selkirk, sheep here have had few if any problems this year; being mindful of lung fluke which killed two lambs at this grass keep last year.
Ancrum Fort
Took some time off decorating my bungalow to walk about and explore the surrounding area of my new village.
Missing Sheep
We gained access to the Craik to do a welfare check on our sheep, there are seven of our flock grazing within the Craik Forest.
Home
Today. having signed a Secure Tenancy Agreement I am no longer homeless, for the first day in very long, traumatising, and at times life threatening twenty years.
Kitchen Garden
We had planned to rest this Sunday, but we both set to work on weeding our Kitchen Garden.
