North West Sutherland Food Link.

Oh well, it was forecast. Winter has begun, proper. I first saw snow on Foinaven on 19th October, same date as in 2010, and the first in the village on 4th December. At least the croft looks tidy with an even covering.

We've had some good storms which hopefully have washed seaweed into the bay, but this also brought heavy rain. The croft is quite flooded near the bottom, what to do with a patch that will flood regularly? Would be nice to dig out a pond for ducks. geese, frogs and toads, but this will dry up in the summer. I think willows and alders are called for, to produce a windbreak too.
 
You may see I got some moles too..
