Ramble 23: Tartan sheep and other forms of lunar madness

 

Tartan sheep trending...

Apologies to readers for the lack of content recently. It's not that we're no longer rambling- we are! and more than ever! Rather, we're collecting so much to write about that we seem never to have the time actually to write! Go figure; a sign of the times.
Meanwhile, Sergei noticed that a Scots animal farm has come up with a novel way to celebrate Scotland's Tartan Week – by unveiling the country’s first ever tartan sheep. Since each tartan represents a different clan Marge and Sergei hope soon to share a photo or two of a flock of sheep representing a number of clans - therefore a veritable crazy quilt of tartans strewn over the highlands.

Now for good times a little closer to home. It was full moon recently and, touched by lunar madness, Marge found herself walking the beach in the early morning. The tides, of course, are more extreme during full moon and here's a sample of the beach on Friday April 26th.
