Appiehouse

There is a piece of music used as incidental music in a lot of television programmes and I have been trying to find out what it is for some time now. After much searching I have discovered it is Perpetuum Mobile by The Penguin Café Orchestra..
This is a link to the music.
Thanks to the kind person who told me, I am most grateful.

Sheena and John enjoy a cup of coffee in front of their open fire after stripping the walls. Appiehouse in the snow (we were to busy to build a snowman, shame). Freya, the wonder dog, enjoying the feel of snow under her paws.

Appiehouse hadn't been lived in for eight years when we moved back home to Orkney so the first thing we did was to start digging the garden. The view back from the house shows that the Garden was in need of some work.

Since then we have given some trees and bushes a polarding they will never forget. which improved the view back from the house.

and things have generally started to grow. My office has aquired a non-optional extra which I suspect I am stuck with until spring. It is our cat which you can see here on top of a padded envelope underneath my desk lamp. Life is a lot simpler if I just leave him there.He has been given an orthopaedic cat bed since this photo was taken.

The year 2000 will hopefully see a lot more changes in the garden if not actually the house. The plans are still being drawn so everything will have to wait for them. The weather up here is a factor for pulling bits of buildings to pieces. In the meantime, planting of things in the greenhouse is going on apace, and when the weather improves, there will be lots of fine plants to take up residence in the newly dug and finely manured garden. The manure comes compliments of the horses who graze nearby.

The updating of this website is being taken over by Sheena, who is in the process of doing an OU course on Computers and the Internet and having done a very tiny thing on the Web, has had a rush of blood to the head, and has offered to take this on as John is very busy. The professional polish that observers to this site have been accustomed, will be absent, but practice makes perfect.
