Strolling down by the beautiful Scottish loch-side, the autumnal sun glints off the water surface.
Mama duck and her family of ducklings swimming around enjoying a lovely day on the loch, the plumage of papa drake clearly visible in the distance keeping a keen eye out for any predators.
Also, in the distance, a feinty sound of fun and laughter coming from the nearby paddle boarders at the other side of the loch as they appear to challenge themselves to stay dry.
“Splash” is followed by the sound of a few chuckles from the onlookers.
The distinctive sound of the farmyard hens laying their eggs along at the neighbouring farm.
The smell of farm life instantly brings my attention back to my childhood memories with my grandparents running the farm.
Every turn I took produced hidden gems everywhere.
A lending library tucked away in the woods, an honesty box with hen and duck eggs for sale.
The amazing autumnal colours in the nearby woodland are nothing short of magical.
And the hint of chill indicates that winter is certainly on its way.
