My mother, Susan Crow (née Temperton), shared her latest blog post on Monday. You can read it – and catch up on all her blog posts about life in Caithness – here.

October, What’s It Like Up There? by Susan Crow, 31st October 2022
The girls and I had an hysterically good weekend up at Stempster, while Euan was away representing the family at a wedding in Dumfries and Galloway. At one point I was actually crying with laughter during an afternoon of games, which included the world’s most hilarious game of Cluedo (there’s a reason that it’s not recommended for three-year olds). Auri, meanwhile, also had an amazing time making crafts, riding on a train, and generally running rings round everyone; while Scapa thoroughly enjoyed exploring some new (to her) aspects of the Stempster vicinity. All in all, the perfect way to see in the new season.
From a few weeks ago: Auri and I love looking for treasure on the beach, and this skull was a particularly exciting find.
The Sisters Three at their Crowvus book stall today in Thurso. It was fantastic to be able to call by and see them in action (and we managed to pick up a few Christmas presents from various stalls while we were there – the year is rushing by!).
