Oh how very brave is the Crofter going about his cleaning duties despite the recent snow and the mud thereabouts. And driving the big car-thing too with such,,, such ,, something. Made right lovely patterns on the ground. I was beginning to wonder if he has the air of an artist. Or an Artiste.

Dad Crofter was on hand to help in the bed shed the other day making sure the Crofter didn't back the tractor that nearly goes properly through the back of the BS. The Crofter didn't.

Do note Dad Crofter's crofting couture.

938

Have you met Eric the Bull before? No, well, this is Eric The Bull. A rather nice bull as bulls what I have met go. I was even present in Dingwall when the Crofter adopted him. Only he was breathing fire today as his girls were taken out of the big shed as the Crofter, Dad Crofter and the Father in law - who had been promoted to second level sh... stuff shoveller shovelled s... smelly stuff from there to over there. 

937

Apologies for neglecting you, I, the blogger have not been at my best.

The Crofter and his lovely family on the other hand are all tickedy-boo although Emily is wondering who all these strange men in red coats and hats with cotton wool round their face are since she has seen a few these last few days.

All the same we do wish you all a very happy festive season whatever it means to you.

I did think Duck was being a bit silly standing on the hose-pipe and stopping the water going through but hey, it amused her.

935

Ducks in a coldish place. The Croft.

Oh well, at least the kind crofter gives them more food.

Mrs Gemma Rowlston enjoying the delights of being in a Hebridean winter in 2014.  Gemma still loves it but now married to the great man and with a small child - the lovely sweet little Emily

We had a wee breeze the other day - and snow was forecast again. It came a few weeks back and then went quickly. It was here a bit in 2013 but now, not sure. No doubt the Crofter's will be letting me know if it's here and affecting their workings

931

Will our festive hats see the light of day when we visit The Crofters over the Festival of conspicuous over-consumption soon?

Watch this space

Post storm Caroline we had a little snow. The pigs were not too keen although they did venture for a spot of breakfast.

Oops! The numbering the of posts seem to have gorn astray I notice. No doubt you have too and were about to write in. Well, don't bother since I really don't care. There, I've said it. I'm going to stick with my mis-numbered posts here. and to top it all I have posted a virtually irrelevant and rubbish snap from another year as well.

The Kind Crofter and the Kind Dad Crofter wondering what the future will bring - in 2012.

And wondering where the sheeps have gone

929

I think it was The Crofter's attempt at "Biggles goes to the Isle of lewis". Nice eh - although I do think carrying around that fence thing all day is a bit overdoing it.

928

No idea to be honest, but it has arrived !

927

Dad Crofter driving the barra' on the road by the croft. To be honest I'm not sure he has the right licence endorsement to drive that thing but I won't tell if you won't.
