Garybuie’s blog has taken a back seat for the past week as Kevin’s mum & aunt have been visiting. We all had a relaxing time together and the weather was fairly kind although it was breezy on and off with the odd shower thrown in for good measure. A tip for visiting Skye: Always wear layers, the top one being waterproof! Now although both ladies are Yorkshire lasses, ‘Calendar Girls’ they certainly weren’t – more like a ‘Pack-a-mac Pair’!
Of course nothing else around the place had the week off. Veggies and ducklings are a-growing at a great rate and today we had a lovely surprise when Nest Thief emerged from amidst the tall grass and wild flowers with seven chicks!
Needless to say that everyone had to come and inspect the new arrivals!

Crikey! Aren’t they alike, the Pac-a-Mac Pair! Are they twins?

No Diane, they’re 12 years apart. All six siblings look very similar.

Definitely not! Best bargain ever! Thanks again for a lovely week.
Good to see the new pics of the ducklings, they’ve certainly grown a lot since we came! Gillian xx
