Last year's Christmas tree was the top of a fir that had been blown off in a storm.
This year's is a self-seeded (Scots?) pine whose roots were threatening a drain.
Waste not, want not. 😁

November going out with a quiet splendour. A morning walk out of the back door and into the Cromdale Hills. Tomintoul distillery hunkered down in the valley.

This play. This passage. Simply the best ever – or at lesst most succinct – defence and justification for the very idea of Civilisation ever written.
This is why we’re here. Because of what this means. And because someone can put it into words like this.

Pesky pheasants in the garden. (Although Bobbie the labradoodle is actually focussed with adoration on the workshop where her favourite person is doing tractor maintenance…)

Ever wondered what a Labrador and a Labradoodle look like play-fighting on a sheepskin rug?
Well, wonder no more. #dogsofBluesky

Uncovered a stone-lined drainage ditch, complete with a culvert that we think marks the location of the old track.
The guy who used to farm here, who is 77 and has lived in the glen his whole life, hasn't ever seen it, so it must be 100+ years old.
Geeky I know, but I love this kind of thing.

Bear the black Labrador needs Tubigrip on his leg.
Bobbie made it clear she felt left out, so she's wearing one now too.

Bobbie was focused on a scent. An animal bolted and ran across the hill as Rachel commented on how big it was.
I thought she was confused because it was only a small deer.
Except it was a hare. Imagine a hare so big you mistake it for a deer.
It's a wild and mysterious place here that's for sure.
