Weather Station

I've now got my weather station (a TFA Nexus) up and running:

Tracklaying

Spent some time this week laying track on my new model railway layout. A small, 6ft x 2ft industrial scene depicting a whisky distillery, with a couple of 3ft extensions for fiddle yards still to be added.

Glen Affric and Glen Cannich

Spent today up at Glen Affric and Glen Cannich. A beautiful sunny day, we even had a picnic and sat watching the deer up on the hillside.

Dalchork Bird Hide

A lovely sunny day, so we took another drive out to the bird hide at Dalchork.

First snow of the winter

A cold, windy, day with the odd heavy snow shower. View from our living room looking across the Dornoch Firth.

Shannon

Sadly our pet sheltie Shannon passed away just after the new year, aged 10 years old. She'll be sadly missed. Here's a couple of videos from her younger years.

Happy New Year 2008

We spent a glorious Hogmanay down on the seafront. We gathered at the war memorial at 11:30pm. We all lit candle lanterns, and sang a couple of hymns. Then we followed the piper along the seafront down to the fountain, and counted-down to midnight.
A good display of fireworks from the harbour wall, and then off to the Carnegie Hall for soup and sausage rolls. A good opportunity to wish everyone a happy new year, and then off home.

Apologies to everyone who tried to phone us around midnight - we'll catch up with you all today.
