Kelpie Cottage Isle of Skye

Febuary 13th 2021

Hope everyone is safe and well during these very difficult times, this lock down is harder than the summer one last year, the days are so short and the nights so long, but spring is just around the corner and we have that to look forward too. Crocus, snowdrops and grape hyacthins are in bloom and the daffs aren't far behind.I have 1 lamb, born ( out of wedlock ) on January 12th and he is such a joy to watch, he doesn't care that theres 3 inches of frozen snow outside he is very content and cosy in the shed with his Mum and the rest of the gang. They have scanned for 61 lambs due on March 31st onwards with 2 sets of triplets this year. something wonderful to look forward too. i hope that many of you have had your vaccines, I'm waiting for mine in the next 2 weeks, due to COPD,I'm not sure what this year will bring but we'll just have to sit tight for a wee bit longer and stay safe.

 We'll keep our fingers and toes crossed that by  easter we will be able to move around again and see our loved ones. I haven't seen my Mum since January 2020, such a long time, without a hug.

 take care, stay safe and hopefully see you soon

Kelpie cottage is a perfect base, it has everything in there you would ever need and more.The advantage of booking a cottage for your holiday is the flexability ,choose to eat out or cook at home, decide what time you leave and what time to return, go out travelling for the day or choose to walk to a beautiful secluded beach? the key is yours for the duration of your holiday with no restrictions.
