In the deep South (Ronaldsay)

Sunrise in South Ronaldsay, a picture taken from our bed... We were again looking after the lovely farmhouse of friends Mike & Rosey who were away with the family while we were home with the family. The chickens were fed and watered and, for my part, the cat was tolerated. Having found a dead otter on the road late on Christmas Eve, Donald wanted to run back with Andrew in the daylight to see if it was still there. A beautiful huge male otter with no marks but dead as could be. It took 7 miles there and back so in play it forward style both boys were then able to put away a huge breakfast, and an enormous dinner which they made as we slumbered on the bed with the view.
Where do they get this energy to run before breakfast? It nust be the gold coins,
