About Me Sorcha

My photo
Elan Valley
Having worked for most of my employed life as a Ranger/Head Ranger here in the beautiful Elan Valley in Mid-Wales, I have found myself entwined in this landscape, in all its wildlife, history, scenery, people and farming. I left my full time post to continue with the things that matter and to farm in the Heart of the Elan Valley and further my creative connection with this wondrous place.The Elan Valley Catchment is 72 square miles of spectacular beauty and abundant wildlife and is known for its series of stunning Victorian built Dams. I support the charity WaterAid who aims to improve Water provision to communities in 27 countries. I was most privileged to be a supporter on a visit to India in 2012. Life is a beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is life, fight for it. - Mother Teresa (1910-1997) Freedom is everything.

Markets and Misty Mornings

Thursday was a busy day this week. Up early, children to school and straight to sorting out some old ewes for builth Mart this Friday. It was perfect in the pens sorting the sheep, the sun zipped down the Valley in successive movements between the rolling clouds. Red wing Thrushes and Fieldfare chattered above in the tree tops of the Rowan, methodically removing one red berry at a time until the trees are bare, then moving onto the next one. Felt very privileged to see 6 ring ouzel mixed in with them and the odd goldfinch and a brambling with the chaffinch. work continued and feet were looked to and tags checked.

Off to Rhayader Ram sale in the afternoon.
