Wilf and the baby owl
Thanks for all your interest in the small owls. Here as requested are some pictures of Wilfs little friend the baby owl ( and an entirely gratuitous one of Wilf en route to helping me in the olive groves). The owl pictures aren't going to win any prizes in a photography contest but I didn't want to use the flash and it was getting pretty dark - they don't do the little thing justice. I'll try to get some group shots of them en masse in the courtyard if I can - it's really rather like a scene from a Star Trek episode with all these bizarre ,cross looking little creatures waddling around.
2004 - We sell the farm in Scotland and move to the warmth of southern Europe. 2 lively Polish Lowland Sheepdogs - Wilf and Digby - our patient and comical companions. After a year in Provence we head to Italy to restore a hilltop Roman watchtower . Following an unpleasant 'housejacking' in late 2009 we set off for new adventures in South West Franceto get to grips with a large and exceedingly rickety old farmhouse. Empty nesters life after the violence of Italy has a gentler tempo. Digby passed on from piroplasmosis in May 2010. HIs brother, despite being diagnosed with cancer and having become blind ,soldiered on for another two years. Bob and Sophie joined us in 2013. Bob passed on in 2019. Sophie enjoyed the fresh air in Scotland after we returned in late 2022 but ran ahead in the summer of 23. This blog records all those little things about living with dogs that are too unimportant to make it into a diary but which make life, life.
