It’s all very magical down there in the pond – just been out listening to them tonight by the light of the moon 
Below should be a short video of them – turn up your volume to hear their frenzied ribbuting! Apologies for the poor picture quality – they are more shy than they appear and I had to do it on zoom from a distance.
Thanks to wonderful Davie we now have our own fabulous barre – 4 and a half metres of split-slidingly strong pine
even gets warm in the sun for us...
Living in the North of Scotland: we dance and eat cake; write; read and study; walk in the woods and gaze at the moon...

My girls loved the frog vidio… they are down at our pond now (in the rain) . Im watching from the sofa !!! Been requested to google more frog vidios …lol
lovely frogs – still very busy today
Oh you’re so lucky to have all that wildlife at your fingertips. I love frogs they just amuse me
And got yourself a dance studio
Im assuming you’ve been ballet dancing for a while then? I’d love to convert my loft into a dance studio but apparantly you need money to do something as big as that ..who knew 
For now its me and my small room mirror.
I bet ballet must keep you really fit and healthy..plus very flexible.
yes dancing a scarily long time! first time it’s been on my own terms though with nothing nasty attached to it… I’ll be 40 this year and there’s talk of a wooden floor to mark that
but yes, it all costs more money than you’d think… it is an ultimate exercise program – loving feeling strong again.
Dear Lucy,
It is wonderful to see the frogs spawning and hear their sounds.
Your barre looks lovely.
It does feel like fairytale living – sipping tea in the sun surrounded by that noise!
I was listening and watching your frog video and my husband suddenely stopped and started looking round the room with a puzzled look on his face. Then he looked over at me and said “Is that you?” hahaha
Still no frog spawn in my pond yet. Plenty of flowers in the garden though.
LOL Pamela!
it is lovely to see the spring flowers
Great frog video! And your very own barre! My daughter would have LOVED one of those when she was younger!
Charlotte does love it!
Hello,
I really love your Website and Newsletter, and all your pictures and information. I don’t know why I don’t get it on a regular basis. I think I have only gotten two.
Your pictures are beautiful, and so is your food! I loved seeing your frogs, too.
I had ancestors in Scotland who were very lovely people, and I have good information on them and where they lived. I have been to England, but not to Scotland.
Could you please tell me the best place to look for property there? I am not familiar to what the different areas are like. This week I looked at real estate in Glasglow, and was shocked to see that a Bungalow was half a million dollars! Is that typical of real estate in Scotland? I was shocked at that price!
My main concern in buying property in an area is first safe and serene, emphasis on safe, and the nicest weather possible. I would welcome any information on this topic. It may never work out where I could do this, but it is a wonderful day dream, and the more information I can receive the more it could become possible!
Thank you for your lovely pictures, information and interesting website!
Best wishes,
Suzanne
Hi Suzanne – we only send out occasional newsletters but glad you like them
Not sure what to suggest with property – that is typical of Glasgow prices but you’re much cheaper in most country areas. As to different places – there are so many all very diverse – maybe a browse round http://www.scotland.org/ might help?
Thank you, Lucy! That is very helpful. I know little about the areas, only Edinburgh and Glasgow, and little about them. I will follow the link you sent me.
I am from the States, but in my view there is nothing more beautiful than Scotland.
