October 2018 – kashcah dreams of crofting

We interrupt the photo feed to bring you this message.

Has it really been two weeks since the flurry of furniture and boxes being unloaded from the moving van? What’s really weird is that it feels like we’ve been living here for just a few days but seems like a lifetime ago that we lived in Galashiels. We spent last week unpacking and jigsawing together…

Finally the weather cooperated for Morning Light the topic for day 7 of #homscastchallenge The clouds are moving fast today because it’s incredibly windy! #homscastphotos

Aaannnd I’ve fallen a day behind -_- Day 6 is Rule of Thirds. Here’s the tiny lighthouse in the harbour at the end of the road. My current favourite place. It’s a cracking day today and if I could I would spend the day down at the harbour. A flask of tea, a good book and wee dog would be perfect company for watching the fishing folk come and go. #homscastchallenge #homscastphotos

Day 5 is Black and White. It’s been pretty rainy all day today (what the locals would call a dreich day). Luckily I received some lovely flowers today as a house warming gift and they were just what I needed on multiple levels! #homscastchallenge #homscastphotos

Day 4 is Nature so here’s a little, late in the year Red Admiral butterfly. I was pretty surprised to see them around in October, shows how much I know! #homscastchallenge #homscastphotos

Day 3 of #homscastchallenge is Door. We went to the Grey Cairns of Camster today and I saw a neolithic doorway to the after life. It was amazing. #homscastphotos

Day two is Fill the Frame. The lawn at our new house is littered with daisies which I love. I foresee many daisy chains in our future but for now here’s a little bunch to say happy birthday to @kellisto_32 #homscastchallenge #homscastphotos

Day 1 of a 30 day photo challenge I’m doing with @kellisto_32 again this year. Today’s topic is Quiet Moment. It’s a little serendipitous that this is the topic for day 1. After moving from a busy town of over 12,000 people to a tiny village of less than 1,000 people our surrounds are all feeling very quiet to me at the moment. What’s not quiet at all is the mess of thoughts occupying my mind. But in the morning, just before we get up there are moments of complete peace when even Zoey is calm! ;) #homscastchallenge #homscastphotos
