Monday – Arrival of The Barts day 🙂 🙂 Monday is the after lunch ferry although due to being disorganised I don’t think we actually managed to have eaten lunch in the end before the ferry. Always very exciting to see friends coming off the boat. Hugs all round and introductions to Bonnie before loading …

Pre Barts
All very excited about Kirsty & co coming. It seems like such a long time ago we set the date for their visit and now it’s tomorrow they arrive 🙂 Yesterday was a productive day – the area we had fenced off for the birds was a quagmire, mud is definitely going to be our …
Bloggety bloggety blog
The mouse ran up the clock 🙂 The kids and I spent ages yesterday rhyming versions of that – we got all the way up to the clock struck twelve 🙂 I also sang in a French accent for some random unexplained reason. These are the things they will remember me for one day 🙂 …
Here I am :)
Today was a writing a job list and ticking it off as I went along type day. Davies and Scarlett are in a limbo of the excitement of the move wearing off and this now feeling like home and therefore requiring of stuff starting to feel ‘normal’ – whatever that is 😉 Scarlett has very …
Not even going to attempt to catch up…
instead will just say where we are now and hope to do better. I really miss blogging but it has simply been beyond capabilities lately, mostly for technological reasons. But today the new netbook arrived and while I have hours of work ahead of me to try and get everything set up on it so …
Friday, Saturday
I think I’m getting better. I’m just a bit rubbish at allowing my body to catch up with itself to be sure… Friday – A late start for some of us (Davies and I) and a rather topsy turvey late breakfast / early lunch arrangement. Ady and I went to the boat and collected a …
24 little hours
I had blogged honest. It’s just that when I hit publish it all disappeared and then it was late and I couldn’t be bothered to try and recreate it all. I’d already lost a whole WW blog newsletter and had to be all inspiring and motivational all over again there so this blog was the …
Sorry I’m late
A white tailed sea eagle ate my homework miss… so erm, my blogging is a bit behind. I suspect catching up is beyond me. Maybe you can read about the last week on Babs’ blog (cough! 😉 ) Suffice to say we had a fab time with FabBabs & co. Fires were lit, port was …
Misty water coloured memories….
I think every single one of the readers of this blog has a role to play in why we are here right now. I think all of my friends are instrumental in larger or smaller amounts for putting me where I am today. Tonight I have been involved in a fascinating conversation with Ady, Mike …
We should be crofting, yeah
Today has been very productive again :). This morning Ady and I went down to the village with Bonnie to get sausages out of Fliss’ freezer for dinner and post Lovefilm back. Fliss was not in so I emailed her to say we’d been and invited her up for coffee if she was free later. …
Missing Michelle
said in a rather whiny voice because I haven’t seen my friend for faaaar toooo long and have no end date in sight for that 🙁 was going to text you today but thought it might make me cry so I didn’t. So I’ll blog for you instead. Fliss is doing a good job of …
Thursday to Sunday with Midgefest coverage
Thursday – First thing we had arranged to be at Ranger Mike’s for some Midgefest prep. The kids did some papier mache-ing while Ady and I tried to create some playlists from our phone music stash onto Mike’s laptop. We walked home to collect food for the Sheerwater trip and the cake of the day …

Oops I did it again….
let days go by with no bloggage! Monday – I’m on cake duty for teashop all week – hugely political, can’t be bothered to type out all the reasons why but I’m earning £7 a shot for doing it so I’ll take the cash thank you very much! I had leftover raspberries to use up …
Sunday
I was woken way earlier than I had planned to be up this morning thanks to Bonnie barking. Scarlett had let her out and she’d chased some deer off the croft but then chose to stand shouting about it for about half an hour. Scarlett and Ady were already up – Davies and I were …
Falling into place
Yesterday we headed down to the village to help Julie pack up. We realised she was far from being ready to pack up so went to collect Davies and Scarlett for some lunch before the first ferry and leave Julie to feed her brood lunch. The kids had been tending to an off course racing …
I’m almost inclined to comment whore….
Honestly, I finally get my act together and no one has anything to say about it!?! I slept in this morning, very lovely and after a late night last night and the dregs of my cold still hanging about it felt much needed. I was most amused last night that after all my feeling left …
We’ve got the power
The solar set up arrived today 🙂 It’s proving very good so far. I am sitting hooked up to wireless broadband while my phone charges and we listen to music. I won’t repeat myself about how it all works as I intend blogging about it on the WW blog but it’s bloody excellent. It might …

Reason for lack of bloggage is still power / internet related. We do now have internet and wireless at the static but both require electricity so only happen when genny turned on which we don’t do every day. We have just ordered a big solar panel, battery and invertor though which we think (fingers crossed) …
This is getting silly!
When people who rarely ever blog are trumping me with regular updates I really need to pull my finger out! It’s lovely having Julie & co here. We have the kids, well mostly Maisie here every night while the others dip in and out. It’s almost like they live here really, joining in as and …
Where is Nic?
I really miss blogging, I miss the actual act of typing out my day, of sharing what I’m thinking and have been doing and I really hate not having it all recorded as I know those days now blur and slip away from me merging into all the others. But I will try and get …
