What’s It Like Up There?

by Lydia November 3, 2022

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.

The milky way, stars and planets were punching the darkness with their brilliance.

Hysterically Good

by Lydia September 25, 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.

Skull Treasure

by Lydia September 9, 2022

From a few weeks ago: Auri and I love looking for treasure on the beach, and this skull was a particularly exciting find.

Crowvus in Thurso

by Lydia September 3, 2022

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!).

Elosa

Take one Southern and one Northern. Throw in a determined preschooler, a hot-off-the-press baby, and their four-legged guardian and partner in crime. Immerse in the Highlands.

You can sign-up for a regular email recap of recent posts and goings-on here. Probably monthly, possibly more often if life and happenings merit it.
