And relax

Temperature gauge hit 19 degrees - positively tropical with blue skies and hardly a breath of wind.

We have a new addition to the family - Darcy the hen - she was left as an only hen so needed a new home so we took her in. She's very tame and today has now been given the full run of the garden. The ducks took no notice and she joined Chestnut, our chicken for a dust bath. She seems to have settled.

Blip is looking over the Sound of Mull towards Loch Linnhe and the Ben Nevis range. It was so still and serene today - long may it last. Big week - hubby has a big birthday on Tuesday.
