Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
The stay-at-home restrictions have been eased and we can now roam within our own council area. It’s been nearly five months since we last walked in this forest and there’s lots to sniff!
Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday,
with love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx

The pine with yellow fluorescent dots have gone, a few with pink dots are still standing. The logging truck left deep trails in the mud, filled with melted snow. The wood feels bereaved and empty at first. Until we notice the moss, shoots of spring grass and the finely barbed beginnings of a wild rose.

The areas felled were part of a mature commercial forestry which will be left to rewild and regenerate with native woodland.
