A grim day - lights on in the house from the moment I got up. #uist
Heavy rain pouring down onto the garden, fields, and loch.

I have had to order a second Namaste sheep ornament from #DalsconeFarm. As soon as I opened the package, someone fished it out, played with it, passed it to the kitten in the cage, and this is the result! 🙀😂😻🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐑
A felted sheep ornament surrounded by pink wool that has been stripped from it. As before. The primary suspects!

North Ford is an unreal mirror to the blue sky and the salt lorry is out. #uist
Across the causeway wall, a near cloudless blue sky reflects in a glassy sea. A yellow salt lorry heads towards us over the causeway.

Sometimes Skye looks so close you could almost touch the mountains. #uist
Looking east across moorland. In the distance are the mountains of Skye. Sky blue pink light. Dawn across a sea loch and the sun is a fiery ember.

#dawn #uist and I’m up early (for me) for TNR trap checking. 🙀
At the base of a dark blue sky draped with grey clouds, bands of orange and cream light. The loch is a mirror in the dark landscape. The sky is a little lighter, the band of orange and yellow wider and brighter,.

The morning after the weekend. I am enjoying breakfast while attending the seminar on Beowulf & Beyond. The kittens are happy. 😻🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈
The golden sun rises from behind a few distant clouds into a blue sky beyond the loch. Tootsie, a calico cat, sits contented on the windowsill. Bubbles, a grey kitten, enjoys a saucer of cream. Blossom, a dark tortoiseshell kitten, snoozes in the sunshine on the back of the pale leather chesterfield.

Tootsie is never going to forgive me and Bubbles is happy to go to a different house every weekend. 🙄😻🐈🐈‍⬛
A calico cat is crouched on a glass shelf with a betrayed expression. A grey kitten is curled up on the duvet next to my pyjamas.

100% worth the complete soaking that inevitably follows being caught out on the moor in light conditions like this.

God, I love the moor this time of the year...
A shaft of bright winter sun pierces through low rain cloud, illuminating an otherwise heavily overshadowed piece of Dartmoor.

I’m happy to say that #Bubbles #kitten is taking her return in her stride. My friend S is here to watch a film and is playing with her. 😻🐈‍⬛

Alas, Tootsie and Bubbles are back. Their adoption didn’t work particularly for Tootsie. 😢😻🐈‍⬛🐈

I have wrestled these 2 into cages and carriers and I am officially exhausted. I shall miss them dreadfully- it’s the hard part of fostering. Live well and happy, wee dears. 😻🐈‍⬛🐈

It’s a fine morning with the expectation of rain later. I’ve slept late and #Blossom #kitten has been studying birds. 😻🐈‍⬛ #uist
The sky over the loch is a glory of deep greys, pale greys, silver, gold, and blue. A dark tortoiseshell kitten with loving eyes sits by the Collins Bird Guide.
