December Sun!

Today was one of those lovely frosty, but sunny and blue winter days and a little bit hazy. I went a short walk to our beach nearby at Ashaig and it was deserted except for the birds. I've just got a new camera so I took a few shots of the views though I didnt cross to the sands and went along the shore.
The top photo looks to Ben na Cailleach (the old woman's mountain), the second one to the Cuillins and the last one towards the mainland and you can just about see the sandy beach at Ashaig.



This is all only a 10 minute walk from Breakish Moss Cottage.

Winter lettuces

A lovely day today so I was checking out the plants in the tunnels and the greenhouses and planting out spring tulips that I was given as a present from Amsterdam.


The winter lettuces are looking good in the tunnel and if the weather does not get too frosty then they will stay this size till the spring and by April/May we will have our own fresh lettuces again. Looking forward to it already!
