Wisps..

..A lovely day, but a bit on the cold side. Blue skies all day, with sun..

Been digging ditches down the bottom of the croft. I've dug out a ditch and put a large pipe in it, packed with stones, and recovered. Not only did I have to dig a large trench for the pipe, but also move a boulder out of the way too. A crowbar underneath moved it in slow steps. Think it probably weighed around 1/2 a ton, it was about 3 foot x 2 foot x 18 inches (sorry, not metricated! 1.0 m x 600 cm x 500 cm!).

Then dug under the fence, and a ditch going up the side of Croft 16. Water is draining well already. I've got a good bit more to do, clearing the ditch through to A's veg patch where it meets a ditch running through the centre of his veg plot. And then further up the side of mine, to collect as much water as it can..

It should benefit A too by having more of a flow to keep his ditch clear..

Then a walk on the beach with Tanni (the 2nd of the day). Went out to the headland, the lumps in the foreground are said to be caused by otters constantly leaving scent marks, there are three or four of these, and the grass grows much better.They look like ant hills to me! Can also see the pyramid shape of Ben Stack on the left horizon..
