⛄️Numbers Two and Three are (quite clearly!) the Stempster version of the Argonath, standing on either side of the road.

Sometimes you just need to stand in a wood.

"I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and looking at the beautiful artwork. It is very clever with lovely verses!"

Only one more week to go until the #BookLaunch! Our Stempster curlews have been trilling about it for the last few weeks!

The second night of #NorthernLights here in #Caithness.
Stempster loves its visits from the Merry Dancers!

In a total curveball to the stories I've posted about, here's an accidental research object which led me to write the (as yet unpublished) book "The Stonemason's Crown", set 1300 years ago in the grounds of my home.
Meet the Stempster Dragon.

A stunning sunset here at Stempster #Caithness!
Made even better by the fact we haven't seen the sun in 6 days.

It's funny who you meet at Stempster in the wee small hours.

It's another subzero morning at Stempster, but nature's paintbox will not acknowledge defeat!

Good morning from Stempster! Our first dusting of snow this year, and an icy moon to hold it!

I have come to the realisation that Stempster is not just a house. It is a way of life.

Meet The Stempster Giant. This tree is not actually the biggest (either in height or area) of the Stempster trees, but it is a very majestic one...

...And it's watching you.
How many faces can you find in it?

Say hello to Honoria Hare, who I made friends with this morning.
She was entirely not bothered about me!

No need for the zoom. These guys we're waiting for us to get home. You can hear how grateful the sparrows were for our return.
