The second outing of the newly-formed Sanday photowalking group was to depart Lady Village at the War Memorial today and to finish at our brand new Heritage centre for it’s opening ceremony. It’s International Firefighters Day today. Wonderful, thought I, I’ll grab a shot of the Fire Station as it is nicely situated immediately to …

Received an unexpected present today. Lucky me

It’s Yarn Shop Day. These are some of the yarns that we have for sale at Sanday Spinners. I guess that counts.
A great start
It’s a glorious day today, sunny and still. The end of the working day coincided with the retreating tide so we donned our wellies, whistled up the dogs and elected to make an early start on our holiday. At least one of us had fun

Four in the hole
Lunch. Smoky Bacon bangers from Donaldson’s in a toad-in-the-hole. Jersey Royals and tenderstem Broccoli. Yummy

Fascinating. Actually finding photo inspiration today was difficult. Sometimes I wish that I lived in more civilised …
Freedom!
You know what these are? Well, apart from being poorly focused (hey, it’s late, you can shoot me if you wish) these are stitchmarkers, living free in the wild – and you know what that means… there’s a finished knitting project somewhere nearby. Hush, don’t scare it.
365:119
Today was difficult. 119 appears to be a very boring number. The date yielded loads of interest but nothing much to match my photographic props or inspiration. The freesias live on. Prof. Heinz Wolff was born this day in 1928. You may, like me, recall The Great Egg Race with fondness. Here are a pair …
