Frosty mule part 2!!!

Muley is spreading the longeared love with a photo in this weeks Scottish Farmer, "fun in the snow" supplement. I like the photo right in the center at the bottom, which is a clydesdale taking tractor batteries out in the snow to a broken down tractor.

As some people will already know I drive a Suzuki X-90 and you don't see many of them about, well there weren't many in the UK to start with and lets be honest they handle like greased weasels so I suspect plenty have climbed trees in the meanwhile. So (sorry I'm getting to the story slowly!) how exciting was it to spot this one in the mirror...

Clearly this one was far more loved than mine and to paraphrase Kevin Wilson, his one's faster, 'cos its a red one! I wish I'd waved as it turned off but it did make my day to see someone else in their wee cheery car (gratuitous photo of Winnie...)

Chamfron Viscacha in the Christmas Spirit!

Viscacha complete with bells in her forelock is "backed" by Ally!

Caramia Away.

We delivered Caramia to her new home in Northants yesterday, she travelled down super, wee spotty face at the window the whole way. She went straight out in the paddock with her new mates and settled very quickly, palling up with the bay lad Aztec Sonador (Monk) an Andalusian cross Quarter Horse. She was happily grazing with him by the time we left and her brand new stable was being got ready for her to come in to!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE....

The SNOW!!!

More wildlife...

The back field is littered with deer tracks.

Muscles...

I needed a bit more strength to break the ice this morning! While Mark was out the youngsters thought they might liberate his jacket and hat...
