The move!

At last, a good dry day, and a chance to get some outside jobs completed, which were becoming quite pressing. I have 15 lambs on the shore end of my croft at Swainbost, accessed by two tracks, both of which had become pretty much impassable even to a 4WD and trailer, following all the heavy rain we have had of late. They needed moving to somewhere I could start feeding them on concentrates to supplement their winter diet through the rest of the winter months. The grass is getting very thin now, and what is there is is not of good quality at this time of year. Here is my friend Domhnall with his dog Dee, walking them up the road to the top end of the croft which is much easier to get to, drier and with shelter.
