A perfect Shetland view.

I mis-read my appointment time for a routine check-up at the Doctor’s so I had 40 minutes to waste. There was not enough time to go back home, and not enough time to go and do anything usefu…My Shetland
Everyone went out into the big hill field after breakfast.
Sheep, horses, ponies.

There was a weird eerie light this morning, when I went to fetch the buckets in to wash before putting them away. The “big” horses had let themselves out and looked very picturesque in …My Shetland

Daisy has gone back now, but she has handed her bucket/gloves/shovel to Flossie.

Today we all said goodbye to Daisy who has been staying here for just over a week. She arrived on my birthday and that was a lovely present. As OH is out of action for some weeks, Daisy came home t…My Shetland

Pulling ragwort in the field. A job that has to be done.

It’s not all hugging ponies and sheep around here. Sometimes we have to do real work. And today it was pulling ragwort, a job I loathe because it hurts my back. I have been putting it off al…My Shetland

Daisy and I made a picture.

I had a project I’ve been meaning to do but I knew I would need help, ie someone with artistic flare. I chose Daisy. Lucky Daisy, though possibly not because she did most of the work. I keep …My Shetland

The flowers are beginning to die back now. There is definitely an autumnal feel.

Daisy and I went for a lovely walk with the dogs in Clothie – my separate five acre croft land that is a little way into the open hill grazing. Having climbed the hill, I sat on an old window…My Shetland

It was a lovely sunny day and then suddenly it wasn't and everyone came home like a drowned rat!

OH took the dogs out for a walk this morning and with that the heavens opened. Not just a small shower, but a sudden humungous downpour of Biblical proportions. He came home with the dogs comple…My Shetland

My internet battle has not changed despite all my best efforts. Last night, I ended up re-setting everything, taking away two routers so we are now down to just one. My thought being there would b…My Shetland

Back to walking both the dogs now Pepper's stitches are out.

As Pepper has now had her two stitches out (and, apparently she was a very brave soldier), I thought she could start going for a walk again, but only short ones and strictly supervised. So I decide…My Shetland

Every so often I suddenly have a panic (usually at about 3 a.m.) that the electric fence is not working and the Shetland ponies will break through into the long grass. Last night I had that worry s…My Shetland

I think the old horses and ponies are looking just right now. I was worried about them too after the harsh winter.

I went with my usual buckets at breakfast-time and found no one waiting by the gate so I had to shout, hoping I wasn’t in for a long walk looking for everyone. The horses and ponies duly appe…My Shetland

Constructing more electric fence to stop a certain small evil Shetland pony from trying to get the grass the other side.
