    Our West Highland White terrier (Westie) was called Brodie and he was a sweetie although being a terrier he wouldn't take any nonsense...loved him to bits.

    A new surprise? Oh boy. That will be fun. Note to Colin: Do NOT get badgering and rogering mixed up! Thanks for the further education on beekeeping. Those bees are really busy. Hopefully, we'll be past this strange March, and they'll be fine.

    I can understand why your channel is so popular. You both are super fun and intelligent. Oh BTW i am “Abby Normal” that’s a quote from Young Frankenstein. You show a lot of love for what you do and in a world such as this is , we can’t have enough. All the best… I am so excited I could “Crush a grape”

    Can't wait to see more of the badgers; you're so lucky to have them! And they're so lucky to be where they are with you. I've seen loads of badgers over the years: all but one of them were dead at the side of the road.😢
    On a happier note, I love the gorse; it's a beautiful plant. When i used to drive up to Thurso years ago, the millions of yellow flowers catching the last of the light made it look like you were driving towards city lights in the distance.

    SINCE YOUR "SMALL HOLDING" OF JUST OVER ONE ACRE SIZE HAS THE CHICKENS PRODUCING EGGS AND THE BEES PRODUCING HONEY TO EAT, YOUR NEW ADDITION(S) MUST BE GOATS FOR WHAT THEY WILL PRODUCE. YOU HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR PASTURE AND THEIR MILK CAN ALSO BE MADE INTO CHEESE AND FUDGE. YOU WILL NEED MORE THAN ONE AS THEY ARE VERY SOCIAL ANIMALS, EH? I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE YOUR NEW ARRIVALS. HOW EXCITING WITH SPRING HERE !!!

    How lovely to see the badger. When I had a caravan in Cumbria before the new site owner threw us all off, bitch, there were lots of badgers and I could actually feed them from my steps. They would come up the three steps and I saw seven of them altogether one balmy night. Have shown two folk in my town your aurora borealis videos. They were very impressed. It all came about whilst I was having a coffee and people were saying that it was still very cold due to the thermal in Scotland and I said well at least they get to see the Aurora Borealis, we only get to see Awful Boris. Such wonderful colours. Good luck with your bee hives.

    There will have to be a cub called "Basil Brush",
    Glad the weather has "turned out nice again".
    In NE Thailand here, the hot season has just started, so, it has been a bit warm here, ut I've not seen any bees yet ! I think they're all scared of me ! !
