The resident cuckoo was also having the same dilemma

Pit the twa of them together and all pandemonium erupts

WELL, WE’VE had a fair bit of fun since last article so we have. If you mind, last issue we were in the process of building a chook coop. Well, we got that finished and welcomed into Clan Blaze, 3 Blackrock hens.

We’ve named them Nugget, (Uncle Dans chook), Bullseye, (Uncle Matts) and lastly mine.

I called it Redcard as that’s what you get for a foul.

They are bonny looking birds for sure and just the job…well, apart from the laying part of the deal.

Not a single egg as of yet, but Dad says that’s only because they are too young.

Aye…let’s wait and see.

Now to the article title.

We decided to take a sail over the sound to Raasay, and even I have to admit, Laoch has been rather well behaved of late.

However, we were going to have company in the form of Glaikit Jasper.

Now pit the twa of them together and all pandemonium erupts.

Meanwhile, I had Ripley the Stick for company, and he’s fine….other than his obsession with anything wooden, from tree size to a toothpick, he will bring it to be thrown.

He is however, otherwise pretty harmless. We set off on a lovely evening on the ferry from Sconser, a quick 15 minutes sail and we were docking at the pier on Raasay.
