Holdiays... yippee!

Great! On Friday school closed for the October holidays – two weeks to do what I want!

All our grain has been shifted now and as well as that all the five-foot bales have been cleared from the steading yard.

At the weekend we weighed all the lambs. We marked with livestock paint any lambs that are heavy enough to be sold just now for slaughter if we decide to.

That afternoon Dad washed the tractor while I cut some kindlers for the fire in the house.

Recently the pipe band I play in was asked to play at the start of the Loch Ness Marathon so the other day I had to be up early to go to that. It was slightly frosty that morning so we were pretty cold at first!

On Sunday I went out cycling with my friend and we found a new track, which was fairly hard but exciting. The heather kept getting tangled in the gear cog and the trees were lethal if they were at the bottom of a hill!
