https://myshetland.co.uk/a-good-friend/ I lacked focus and a plan so a good friend came and told me what to do. I needed that. I was beginning to doubt myself.

https://myshetland.co.uk/over-the-wall-2/ Every day I walk over the hill to give my old Icelandic horses their carrots to check all is well.

https://myshetland.co.uk/some-move-out/ The little boys (aka the Shetland ponies) went outside as they are looking much better so that's 3 down and 5 to go.

https://myshetland.co.uk/shetland-craft-fair-2025/ Every year Shetland has the most incredible Christmas Craft Fair. For such a small place, there is a huge amount of homegrown talent.

https://myshetland.co.uk/calmed-down-a-bit/ The Shetland weather has calmed down a bit making life much easier for everyone.

https://myshetland.co.uk/sheep-and-prices/ Here are the prices of the sheep I have made and are for sale - the perfect Christmas present.

https://myshetland.co.uk/new-neighbours-2/ Car MOT, home then horses then ponies and the usual routine.

https://myshetland.co.uk/bored-bored-bored/ I think we are all very bored of this stable bed-rest thing. It never stops.

https://myshetland.co.uk/lambies-day/ A day in the life of Lambie (which involves very little actual effort or thought).

https://myshetland.co.uk/food-and-more-food-please/ Everyone wants food. That is my role this winter to dish out food and then some more.

https://myshetland.co.uk/sheep-and-ponies/ I now have a slightly unhealthy obsession with my Shetland ponies' bowels! I went to tame down my hill sheep.

https://myshetland.co.uk/have-carrots/ True fact - Horses love carrots!

https://myshetland.co.uk/taking-stock/ Rebuilding the electric fence and deciding what to do/how to manage the Shetland ponies now.

https://myshetland.co.uk/films/ I made a filum. Daughter made a better one.

https://myshetland.co.uk/nearly-feral-sheep/ The weather has made it nearly impossible to spend any time with my new sheep. They were just getting nice and tame, too.

https://myshetland.co.uk/a-funny-old-day-4/ Kimchi, Icelandic horses, Shetland ponies and small dogs. That's the kind of day it's been.

https://myshetland.co.uk/red-sky-in-the-morning/ Red sky in the morning - well, we all know what that means. The arrival of Storm Ashley. Here we go then.....

https://myshetland.co.uk/before-the-storm/ Getting ready for Storm Ashley. Not looking forward to this one, not one bit. Could be an ordeal for everyone.

https://myshetland.co.uk/sore-feet/ Bloody Shetland ponies have all got very sore feet and stiff legs. Possibly because they broke out of their track to gorge on grass and not letting me catch them.

https://myshetland.co.uk/floods-and-flossie/ Heavy rain and fog in Shetland resulting in flooding. And then an airport run to fetch my youngest daughter, home for the week.

https://myshetland.co.uk/an-indoor-day-i-think/ Weather vile. Cat annoying. Sheep eats carrots in the house.

https://myshetland.co.uk/bloody-shetland-ponies/ A frustrating day with escaping Shetland ponies. I walked miles trying to catch them. Ended up, giving up. So not me.

https://myshetland.co.uk/far-far-away-2/ What to do? Whether to keep the Shetland ponies on the track or to put them up into the hill field for a while. I am hoping the Autumn Flush of grass has finished.

https://myshetland.co.uk/lights-or-no-lights/ My "scientific" experiment. I think the Shetland ponies don't like lights in their containers.

https://myshetland.co.uk/when-the-night-comes/ Night time chores on my Shetland croft.
