Highland cattle.

Had a mixture of sunshine and showers this week which has made everything grow profusively. The Highland cattle and their calves enjoy being out in the sun eating the lush green grass in the fields although their thick coats are very well adapted for the winter weather. I have not had to water the garden at all which is great and all the plants in the tubs and hanging baskets are doing very well. A few deer have been wandering around eyeing up the plants but luckily only munching on the grass. Philip the pheasant has been giving us an early morning call outside the bedroom window so I will have to have words with him next time I see him !! Mind you it does get light at 3 in the morning and does not get dark until about 11 at night so we do have lengthy daylight hours during the summer months which is absolutely fabulous.
