After Storm Arwen we now have an icy blast

After Storm Arwen we now have an icy blast, which means I have to start feeding my cattle. This is later than normal, due to a mild Orkney Autumn. However I am short of silage, due to the very dry summer and therefore would have liked to put off feeding for a week or so yet.

This is something I've been taking the Harmony Coach Holidays tours past recently. During lockdown an Orkney stonemason, called John Hamilton built a full-sized replica of a 1950s American Chevy pick-up in stone. John and his pick-up have been in the Scottish Sun newspaper twice. He is in the process of setting it up as a charity attraction for MacMillan Cancer Research and two local Orkney charities. The guests seem to like it and put their loose change in John's collection box.
