It's no good asking me, I have no idea!

The Crofter is no doubt slumped semi-comatose as I write having judged the sheeps and celebrated - something or other.
Not sure what one looks for when judging sheeps to be honest - but looking at this snap I do have my thoughts. Not sure if The Crofter was practising judging here or devising a new sheeps wrestling move. Gave me the giggles though.

The Crofter has been to the Stirling show. He could be learning to make sticks! Eh? How good is that? We all need sticks up here - how else would you light the fire? Tell me that?

"We are all in this together folks"

Apart from The Crofter that is who is off on a jaunt to Stirling or somewhere to judge sheep [and no doubt lean on a  bar from time to time.].

Normal service will continue thanks to Mum and Dad Crofter.

I'm on the mend.

Perhaps I need my hair trimmed too.

Late season shearing due to The Crofter's work commitments and moving The Boat about.

I'll be back to normal soon - I hope. In the meantime feast your eyes on this snap - again. From 2011.

Every thing bar the kitchen sink Or two kitchen sinks in this case.

Not exactly news I suppose but I have seen The Crofter for a day or two as I have been ensconced in the island hospital so the good Dr can tickle my bot. Only I feel a tad over-tickled afterwards and can hardly sit down at the moment.

I shall be back,
