  • Brrrr ... such a stunningly beautiful, cold, snowy day here. Kids delighted to have a snow day off school. Our sheep are being very friendly wanting extra oatcakes...definitely a double feed day for them x #isleofskye #winter #feedingsheep #croftinglife #islandlife #staffin #glenviewbedandbreakfast #shilasdair #earthandskyeyoga
  • Talk about the year of new beginnings :: so here at our Glenview B and B we are now also not only the home to Shilasdair yarns but also Earth & Skye Yoga. www.earthandskyeyoga.co.uk Come and stay with us ... a place where yoga & yarn collide!

  • I wonder if sheep ever stop to take in the view! Trotternish ridge is covered in snow. Last night's storm has passed so we downed our paint brushes and got outside to fill our lungs with fresh air today. #trotternish #trotternishridge #isleofskye #islandlife #croftinglife #scotland #scottishhighlands #skye
  • A room of possibilities :: so we have stripped our old cafe right back and started painting ceiling and walls....slight hiccup with some misjudged dark brown paint but I have reigned myself in...we are going for white and bright to let the colours of the yarn shine x #glenviewbedandbreakfast #glenview #isleofskye #woolshop #yarn shop #staffin
  • Amidst all our decorating we are busy with wool production....need to finalise our decision on whether skeins should be in 50g or 100g :: I tend to think light fingering and 4ply in 50g....dk maybe 50g or 100g and aran up 100g....any thoughts would be gratefully received as finalising labels tomorrow! #shilasdair #woolshop #skein #hank #yarn #britishwool #britishyarn #decisions
