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 …
Backblip: Nosey Parker
An impromptu trip to mainland Orkney on Thursday evening found us parked up at the Sands ‘o Wright on Saturday morning. The weather was uninspiring, though [url=https://www.polaroidblipfoto.com/entry/4773707]far less misty than the last time that we visited there[/url]. This time we managed to find where the 3.5 mile circular walk goes after Hoxa Dam, where we …

Note to Self
Brunhilde has been de-SORNed (what’s the proper term to use?) and is being packed for an impromptu trip to Orkney Mainland. I wish I had known – I’d have got my laundry done earlier in the week. Realising that my thermal undies were dripping on the airer, I swiftly dropped them into the tumble dryer. …
Further Yarny Goodness
In today’s mail – Alpaca. In five colours and for an horrifically complex piece of knitting, if other knitters are to be believed. [url=http://www.yarnharlot.ca/?s=Fox+Paws&submit=Search]Even a knitter as speedy as the Yarn Harlot has found Fox Paws to be, shall we say, entertaining (hers has been on the go since last October)[/url] I shall let you know. …
Monday Outlook
A dull and drizzly morning, with little to recommend it and especially not the biting wind. I had to point the lens in the direction of Kettletoft this week in order to capture anything other than flat grey cloud. Fortunate to coincide with the morning flight to Kirkwall, I also captured our peedie Islander plane …

Wallowing
The Colinette yarn packs that I ordered last Wednesday have finally arrived. Contrary to the wording on the site, which says that packages are sent by Royal Mail, the parcel came via Interlink. Courier deliveries to the isles take [i]ages [/i]- Royal Mail would have my parcel here by last Saturday. In the meantime I …
