April 21, 2011 - Feufield Farm

Wow, it's been a busy few days! It's hard work running a farm...the "to do" list never seems to end. Having a good time though and enjoying all of the animals. Right now the farm is getting ready for their best time of year. Who doesn't want baby chicks, duckings, and goslings at Easter! There...

April 20, 2011 - Feufield Farm

Hi all. Sorry about the gap in posts. There's stuff to be done on the farm from 8am - 9pm, but I've got lots of photos and will try hard to get a blog up tomorrow...

April 18, 2011 - Final Day at Valleyfield House

Today is my last day at Valleyfield House, so I've busied myself with doing laundry and cleaning the flat before I leave tomorrow morning. Jane and Roger will be home tonight, so I'll get to see them again before I go. I've included a couple more photos of the downtown area of Penicuik before I...

April 17, 2011 - Trip to Edinburgh

I woke up to a nice sunny day for my excursion into Edinburgh today. I spent 3 hours walking around the oldest part of the city and seeing the sights...some history below to go with the photos... (Sir Walter) Scott Monument - stands in the East Princes Street Gardens and is the largest (200...

April 16, 2011 - Valleyfield House

Things were a little slow all around today. Not as much traffic in the store and very few people at the Town Hall Open House made for any easy day. There were only 4 people at the Open House when I arrived at 12:30 after closing the store and no one else came by after that. We ended up closing...

April 15, 2011 - Valleyfield House

Not much excitement today, but busy none-the-less. Today is delivery day for the store so I was up early for the first delivery. Cheese and general dry goods (teas, honey, jams, canned goods, etc.) come first at 7am and it took me several hours to price and stock everything. Then I spent some...

April 14, 2011 - Bike ride to Musselburgh

Well, Matt and I were able to take our 26 mile round-trip bike ride to the North Sea at Musselburgh without any rain, despite the cloudy skies. The temperature was perfect for a long ride (about 55 degrees) and our trek out seemed effortless (maybe because it was mostly downhill!). We took the...

April 13, 2011 - Valleyfield House

Saw Jane and Roger off to the airport this morning after breakfast for their trip to Denmark. Matt and I are left to hold down the fort. The weather today is cooler and blustery...about 43 degrees with a wind chill of 38, but so far no rain. Had a slow quiet day today. Matt mowed the lawn and I...

April 12, 2011 - Valleyfield House

Woke up to a sunny day today, which was a pleasant surprise as the weather forcast had shown rain (or chance of) for the rest of the week. It now looks like it will be partly cloudy most of the week instead. Also, today is Jane and Rodger's 42nd anniversary :) so a good day for sunshine!...

April 11, 2011 - Trip to Selkirk

Started the day with a lovely group breakfast, as usual. The weather was a bit cooler today with clouds and light rain that turned to heavier rain during the morning. Matt and I worked on planting trees for a hedge along the side of the house and managed to get it done before it started raining...
