skating

its been a bit cold  - not as bad as elsewhre in hte UK, but enough to freeze things .
including the pond

So the geese can have a walk  on the ice if they wish

and the water coming off the hill has frozen as well

Winter 2014

We had a bit of a storm at the start of the week

but that wasn't  too bad - the boats were off but not the planes . Radio Orkney facebook page is the best source of information for this sort of thing

the wind has gone , but we have a bit of snow .
The water around the place all had ice on it , so a forceful welly meant that  the animals would be OK

 The sheep and hens arent too bothered  by it all.
