The sun was out quite a bit today, which was a pleasant change from the last few days of rain. Lots of Blackbirds, Redwings, Fieldfares and Starlings feeding on Gallow Hill behind my garden and drinking from the burn trickling down the hill – a wonderful scene along with the sheep. Its fantastic that I don't I have to leave the house to see some good birds. I couldn't do that in King's Lynn! Topped up all the bird feeders and cleaned the bird baths out. Since most of the trees have shed their leaves, I now have a better view of Scalloway Harbour. Very chilly here, but nice and warm in my house.

Lucy seems to be settling in and was playing her violin today, which I was very pleased to hear. She's not good at unpacking though and has not unboxed any of the items I have sent her via Amazon apart from a tin of biscuits! Yesterday she managed to walk to the garage shop and back which is 0.8 miles each way, which I couldn't believe she achieved. So, touch wood, things are going better than they were.
