A day in the life.....

Yesterday we woke up to an overcast, rather dull morning and there was a distinct chill in the air. The northerly wind causing this was coming straight across from Urquhart Castle. On the weather forecast we were warned of temperatures dipping overnight and possible frost in more sheltered glens so will remember to put the heating on timer. Went out to feed the birds,who are waiting anxiously in the branches nearby, with their new sunflower seeds and bread mixture and they are on the table before I am indoors. Had to wait in for a Tesco delivery [how civilised!] and once he turned up we went into Inverness, nearly running over 2 red squirrels who suddenly shot across the road. We experienced rain and bright sun so had to juggle with hoods up one minute and then sunglasses on the next.In the evening mum and baby deer trotted across the driveway pausing for a quick munch before going up to Aspenwood. As we were eating supper we looked out on an amazing sunset followed by a beautiful starry night. Not a bad place to live!
