Wood burner is going, Autumn has officially arrived. 

Am currently in North Carolina with work where it is very warm but been on phone home to Westhill this morning. The sticks are about to be ordered as the wood burner will be going on soon lol  !!!

Very autumnal feeling the last few days with a proper ground frost yesterday morning managing to blacken the nasturtiums in the more frost prone parts of the garden.

Very soggy morning then drier in the afternoon with even a bit of sunshine.

The clearance accompanied by a marked increase in wind speed, pretty gusty at times.

Feeling a bit milder than of late with a max of 15.5c.

Decent aurora earlier this evening but a lot of cloud floating around making viewing a tad hit and miss.

Weather station tells me it's a balmy 14.4c and the sun is trying to shine! Too much cloud though, light breezes, occasional showers. Much worse to come tomorrow when I'll be staying put and may indulge in a wee dram to welcome the Equinoctial Gales! 😁🥃🌬️

Very wet here this evening after cold day following low of !c this morning.

Well I’m starting to appreciate just how sheltered Glasgow is! The rain out here - a mere 30 miles away - takes on a very different character to what I remember in the city.

When people tell you it always rains in Greenock, believe them.

Wild and woolly doon here, sunny but very blowy. Too many trees round me here, Think I preferred living out on the moor to this.

Very wet since Monday evening. Approx 30mm. 
A very mild night, a low of 15.8c. Very windy.

Very wet overnight.  River Findhorn high   this morning. No fieldwork here today.

 

Time all taken  up these last few days with huge heifer calf born by caesarian cow milked by hand for two days calf bottle fed, cow grumpy making it a dangerous job. Long legged calf bent in womb finding it difficult to stand improved every day to point where it was chasing me for the bottle last night. Finally could stand long enough to put on cow restrained in crush this morning and then caught on camera drinking naturally off cow in fold. YES!!!!!!! A lot of work to get it to that stage and patience
