Dreich

a storm blew through last night - the wind was due to peak at about 1am. So this morning we could have a look and see what the anenometer said. the wind was coming from the   north-east so it is only sheltered a little by the stack.  So  gusting to almost 41 mph

And this morning it is really dreich .

And I took a couple of pictures to prove it.

And we have had a lot of rain over the last 18 hours or so.  Earlier in the year the pond was quite attractive

 now its  overflowing

 but the ducks are of course nowhere in sight - too stupid to  realise and prefer to waddle  around in some mud. 
 
 And the burn is very noisy - and very full.

I feel a hydro micro -generation project coming on !
