Still pretty tired from having just travelled back from Inverness and Alladale for some reason I agreed to be at the farm for 7:30am, this meant leaving home at 7am, so getting up at 6:30 - I must be crazy... at least my knee seemed to be OK!
It was a crisp and bright day to start off with, so looked like a good day ahead. I got up to the farm with no problems and was only a few minutes late :-) The van was already loaded with merchandise, so we headed off up to the school to get everything set up.
There were chairs to set out, the merchandise to lay out and the black out paper to put over the windows. The only thing was I forgot my camera as I had left it in the observation room! Dashed back to get it, as I was the official photographer I thought it may be useful!

Overall a superb day - as usual the organisation was superb and the whole day went off without a hitch. Unfortunately as I spent the whole day standing my knee was painful by 16:30, so I left for home and a hot bath! |
