Dissapointment..

..went down the croft with Tanni and G. I picked a couple of bags of swede for J's horses, and put them in the car, while G took Tanni on the beach, and got a couple of buckets of sand for the hens.. (makes the shells firmer)..

Dug some ditches  on the way back up. Found the old stone drain and  blocked it off at the bottom of the croft. The water is now taken away by the "cross croft ditch".. Had a chat with A while I was down there, he said my greenhouse frame had been delivered by a big M&H lorry..

Continued up the croft, and finished digging the ditch on the top veg patch. The ground is pretty wet after 16 mm rain overnight, and the drains are flowing well.

Got back to the house to find the delivery had been the Soup kettles I ordered for the Village Hall.

Phoned Halls greenhouses and explained that I'd had a delivery by the same company that had delivered the greenhouse, but still didn't have a frame. She was very apologetic, and said she'd get the delivery company to contact me. They did, and the frame will now be delivered on Monday. A recap: The frame had been delivered to an address in Ullapool 2 weeks ago, Hall's said they'd send a replacement frame. I'm getting the original frame 16 days later (supposedly). The frame will have been laying in someones garden all this time, possibly opened, who knows.

I've given the ultimatum that if it's not here on Monday, and if there is the slightest damage, or bits missing, they can have it back and refund my money..

All these problems after the insurance company had been so good too..

A day of wintry showers, snow, hail, and rain. This rainbow appeared late afternoon..
