Horse/sheep/chicken and dog-sitting at the foot of Bennachie and we have been blessed with almost perfect days - and nights!

Yesterday it was still and clear and warm and we wandered through the woods (just the dogs you understand, the chickens can`t keep up, the sheep wander off the tracks and the horses frighten everyone else`s dogs) pleased but not surprised to see Mither Tap still there (it`s been a long time)keeping a dignified watch on things



New young dog here also necessitates night strolls - starlit and still with strange night noises echoing out of the woods.




And today more perfection: Mither Tap awaiting






the woods were magical







and despite some storm wreckage,







familiar landmarks endure.









Once at the top it was all greens and browns in one direction,










in the other, mountains, snow and ice.










Spirit raising, putting-it-all-in-persepective (but not too much), soul enhancing......and to cap it all a woodpecker in the woods on the way back. :)
