There probably should have been an Aurora photo today but I was not on the top of my game yesterday and bed seemed the more inviting option. Add to that the cold wind, the light cloud, the moon, the glaring lights on the hill from our local school, and Brunhilde in the way – well …

Monday Outlook
Kettletoft Bay, looking slightly different to [url=https://www.polaroidblipfoto.com/entry/2016171323457277819]yesterday’s appearance[/url]. It might appear different today but I can confirm that the bitterly cold wind remains with us – I did not stay long! There was no Monday Outlook last week. Monday Outlook for the 9th February is [url=https://www.polaroidblipfoto.com/entry/2011398348593957766]here[/url]
The Rising Tide
About an hour before high tide we noticed that the sea was already washing over the road nearby. The wind is from the south, it’s a Spring tide and the pressure is dropping rapidly. Great, I thought… [i]and it’s not raining[/i]. However, I did not stop out long as that wind is bitterly cold. The …
Bright Spark
In today’s mail: It’s [url=http://brightspark.info/products/toaster]a toaster[/url] to go on the gas ring. Brunhilde is a Continental lady. Seems that Continental-built campers lack grills and ovens, whereas Brit-built vans boast usually a grill and sometimes the oven too. We have been missing toast and I cannot begin to tell how challenging I find cooking on the …
The bed’s too big without you
We are a little down in the dumps today and Teddy is all alone on our big bed. We woke to find that Ted’s buddy, Treacle was feeling proper poorly. He is having problems with his breathing but is clearly not viral as his eyes and nose are clear and his ears are cool – …
Sleeping Angel
Inspired by [url=https://www.polaroidblipfoto.com/entry/2015048694763618438]friedaquilter today[/url] I checked the forecast after lunch, donned my boots, grabbed camera and tripod and headed off to the Cross Kirkyard. The ruins here date from the 16th century but probably stand on the site of a Viking settlement. No matter how often I visit I always find something new to photograph …
Sossidge!
While we were over on mainland Orkney we took advantage of the need to go into Kirkwall on Saturday and called in at Kirkness & Gorie for cheese supplies. A bottle of wine fell into our bag too, as did posh crackers and some olives – we were planning a bread and cheese supper that …
Whitehall
Sunday night’s ferry being cancelled, we made our way home on Monday’s morning boat. On the refit timetable, this service goes via Stronsay, which makes it a long trip. I was however excited at the prospect of something different to photograph… …until I realised that I had left both cameras in Brunhilde on the car …
Backblip: The Boardwalk
It would have been a lovely day if not for the icy blast of a gale force wind. Between that and the lack of comfortable sand for Suzie to walk on, we decided to leave Skaill early. Theoretically we had a boat to catch but we both knew in our hearts that the ferry would …
Backblip: Really not a camera day
Hoxa had proved a relatively sheltered haven after a very noisy Thursday night at Mull Head and we should have liked to stay put but one of our reasons for going over to the big island was to visit Kirkwall. Given the prevailing weather conditions and especially those forecast for Sunday we thought it best …
