back to beggshills bothy

We were away for most of September enjoying the warm weather and hospitality of Oklahoma and now we're back.
And the Autumn storms are definitely back. Thankfully with all the insulation and a good heating system the bothy is a cosy snug place to relax. Don't let the weather keep you indoors, there are plenty of great walks and at this time of year with the leaves turning the woods and forests are looking great.
I've noticed that our chickens are not such fans of this weather. This morning they were still in the hen house at 8.30 and didn't really want to come out. And yesterday they were in around 5pm which is pretty early. They are free range and I guess this means they are free to laze around in the coup as well as range free in the field and garden. Guests at the bothy will meet them as they always like to pop over in the morning and see what's happening in the bothy. They are very nosey.
The horses on the other hand don't seem to mind this weather. They really like hooving up the fallen leaves from the trees. If only they wouldn't make the field sooo muddy.
