The deer.

Whilst going around the sheep this morning I spotted this little deer sitting contentedly by the side of the wall and fence in the sunshine and out of the wind until she spotted me……..she jumped up and set off, knowing exactly where she was going on her farm, straight up the field, and the photo

High tides.

Although we missed the snow here at Ross Bay, we have had some high tides which have washed up some seaweed and debris further around the bay. The high tides and windy weather are great to watch from a toasty warm cottage. You can sometimes hear the sea roaring over at Fauldbog bay, it certainly

High tides.

There is nothing which seems to attract sightseeing quite like a rough high tide, the white sea froth, the waves crashing on the rocks, boats bobbling up and down in Kirkcudbright harbour.  Don’t we all like to catch a crashing wave hitting the rocks if we can?
