Summer holiday.













on


A beautiful summer day with the lavender smelling sweet and the chickens stocked up with rowan berries, when we loaded up the vehicles for our moving trip to Grantown. Queensbury Van Hire is a local firm and we had no problems with their prices or efficiency. I drove the truck and used a borrowed sheep trailer (see above).

It only took 2 hours to load up the van, 1 hour for the truck and trailer the evening before and 8 hours to drive there. We unpacked the following day in pouring rain and it rained all day but so did it everywhere else.

We drove back to the farm the following day, in pouring rain from Perth onwards.

As we drove in convoy we were able to exchange notes on what had taken our individual interest and it was all identical! Bad driving...another Queensbury Van...flooded fields with folorn cows...


Our own cow was standing folornly too but she always looks like that.


Then our farmhouse...devoid of all the home comforts we have accumulated over the last 30 years. Now we don't only have space around us with our land but also within our house. See the photo of breakfast today.
