WELCOME TO SKYE !

Thanks for visiting our Blog about our new life on Skye. We wanted to keep our family and friends updated on how our big move was going and how the house build was coming along and thought this would be the easiest way.

We've also included a couple of useful links to local websites (information on the Glendale area, wildlife and places to stay) which can be found at the bottom of the Blog.

We're loving our new life here and hope you enjoy reading our Blog and taking a look at some of our photos. Click on the Flickr link to the right to see a slideshow of our build progress . . . . .

Back to Work........

At the beginning of March I started working part-time at the plush restaurant 'The Three Chimneys', which is situated just down the lane from us. I'm working in the office/reception of 'The House Over-By', which is where the guests can stay over in 6 luxury suites. I'm really enjoying getting out to work a few days a week and they're a nice family to work for. Take a look at their website, there's a link at the bottom of the blog......

Our Girls Have Arrived!


Our 6 lovely hens arrived at their new home last weekend - Paxo, Clucky, Eden, Timmy, Beartrice & Mabel! They've settled really well and are already quite friendly and inquisitive. Eden seems to rule the roost-one of Holly's hens, now there's a surprise (she's pictured strutting her stuff)! We're keeping them in their run for a couple of weeks, but then we'll let them roam free during the daytime. Another couple of weeks and they should be laying us 6 fresh eggs a day!
