Sheep Round-up on Erraid

Towards the end of our travels, we spent a week on Erraid, a small island off the west coast of Scotland, which is stewarded by members of Findhorn.  While there, we had the opportunity to participate in a sheep round-up.  Basically, everyone got into a long line (within sight of whoever is to our left and our right) and then we swept across the island, gathering sheep along the way.  We did have some sheep dogs to help, but Simone is now convinced she was a sheep dog in a past life!

Barcelona!

We spent a wonderful few days in Barcelona with some friends who live right in the heart of the city.  The kids loved the "Ramblas", an avenue where there are cool markets and lots of people doing street theater.  Our friends also had a kick scooter that Simone loved getting around on.
