It is almost mid-summer on the north coast, and the rest of the UK has been suffering from flooding on a major scale. Looking back at a week of sunshine it's hard to imagine the rest of the country battling with the elements. Usually it's the other way around...
So the lambs and calves have been having an easy time of it (no snow or gales to contend with) and the kids are enjoying the last two weeks before the summer holidays.
I love this time of year. From our back garden you can listen to the oyster-catchers and the curlews in the field. The sounds of summer in the north...:

Eann, you have made me quite nostalgic for the north again. We too have been suffering flooding these last few days, albeit not on a major scale, but up to waist deep in places. It usually drains away pretty quickly, though. Anita has just flown back to the UK with Otis today, so I am a sad dad at the moment... I'll be joining them in about three weeks. Will I make it North? I sincerely hope so, I would love to catch some of the almost midnight sun and meet my friends and family again...
take care all
James
