MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

Olive and her friends say Christmas greeting and hope 2014 is a good year to grow lots of yummy grass!

Weaving, Walking and Wind!

Its still busy with Tweeds, historically weaving has been slow during the winter but as it is really popular now for all things from jackets to shoes to even tweed covered radios the weaving is still keeping me out of mischief! I have done many beautiful coloured tweeds but even the more subtle tones are beautiful in their right.
Below is one of the more colourful tweeds!

I have been out in the hills just into Harris, and was fortunate enough to see Deer, 2 of which leapt across the path in front of me, I think I was more startled then them though!! It was only a small hill, but I had amazing views and was the only person for miles around

We had a huge storm here on Wednesday, a weather station on the North of the Island recorded over 100mph winds. It was really scary, the worst storm we have had since moving here but came out unscathed. Only 2 damaged hen shelters, but no hens hurt as they sleep in houses during the night which were sheltered from the storm.

Not only was there wind but hale and thunder and lightning too so it was an unpleasant night, but I was thinking of the poor sheep up on the croft. they were fine behind their shelters and they got and extra helping of food on Thursday to make up for the cold night!!
