We had a wild night in the shed and I didn't sleep much but there is no sign of any damage apart from a young tree down. Our new Shetland Geese who we picked up at lunchtime yesterday must have thought that they had been taken to hell.
Everybody was fine this morning and all the poultry were in a feisty mood when they saw the sun after the misery of sheets of cold water yesterday.
Quite glad we're high up - the fields below us on the banks of the Isla are totally flooded. Never seen so much water.
Might try and get a picture tomorrow - it is very beautiful and the grey lags will like it when they come.

I'm very glad we are up the side of a hill. Huntly was flooded so I had a bit of a detour to get to work as the main road was closed but everything is just pretty soggy and miserable.
Our holding has Anglo Nubian and British Toggenburg goats, Gotland sheep, Franconian Geese, Blue Swedish ducks, a whole load of mongrel hens and two semi-feral children.

meant to add, when i was in Thailand, we went to an cookery school to learn how to cook thai food - yum yum, all good stuff

the school was located half way up a hill and had a great view out over the beach and cliffs that make up the thai coastline in the south of the country.

I mentioned it was a great view and how she must love working there each day - then she replied - this is our new school, our old school was further south on the beach and was completely destroyed by the tsunami on boxing day a few years back. Her home and business was completely washed away.

kinda puts into perspective my upset last night at seeing my plastic polytunnel wrecked by the recent bad weather!

All is well here on the North Coast if somewhat damp :)

damp, that's a nice way of putting it  ;D ;D. We had to travel to Glenrothes on Sunday and I'm so proud of my car ploughing through half a foot high "puddles"...well, the ducks are happily making a mess of what was left of the lawn after the lousy summer :&> :&>

Welcome home Chris, hope you both had a fab time!
