Plunging onward.
Posted: Friday, 04 January 2008 |
Lambing is in full swing, with more and more small wet black wooly things emerging into the world every day. I always find myself wondering how sheep dont shrink in the rain like my wooly jumper did.
The promise of snow melted away to nothing, me being taken back to feeling 12 years old again, lying in bed trying to work out if the light filtering through the curtains has that silver plated quality of light reflected from snow. However when i peeked around the edge i was confronted with the usual green grass. I want a refund!
The good news is i am getting a new camera - an olympus C7070 to replace the small point and shoot thing i have now. I am a little nervous as one of the things i love about the small camera is that i can just bung it in my pocket and forget about it. The 7070 is much bigger, so i will lose that freedom. I guess we will see.
I also intend to post as many pictures as possible. During the summer this may be curtailed slightly as i will only have slow dialup internet access, but at the moment i have no excuse.

The lambs look very lovely. Have they lost their mother? Isn't it a bit early for the lambingseason? All the same I like your blog.

After coming to Orkney in May 2006 for 8 months, somehow I am still here. Running the MV Valkyrie in the summer and helping on the farm in winter is now my life.
