Last evening was a lovely warm one, so the kids and I went down for a scramble over the rocks down on the shore. There is a triangular rock that we call shark fin for obvious reasons. The tide was fairly far out and gave a good view of the unused St Nicholas kirk. Lovely night, nice to see that spring has sprung with lots of birdlife around again.
I was on my morning cycle commute this morning around 7 am, I had to stop to record the moment. The picture just cannot do the scene justice. There was a low lying morning mist in the fields with the sun just coming up, just fantastic. Thought I would share this with you.
Hi, it's been a long time since I last blogged, I miss it. So time to give it a go again. I will be using the android blogger app more and more this time, so please excuse any predictive text errors.
A lot has happened since my last post, we got rid of my beloved ford galaxy, traded it in for a ford mondeo edge 5 door estate. This is the most basic idea 1600 cc entry level model, with enough boot space for a family like ours. Although I do miss the galaxy, it was starting to become more and more expensive to maintain.
The other notable event in our lives is that marina's sister has moved to Orkney along with her family. This has cheered everyone up a great deal, especially the kids.
It is the first day of British Summer Time, and I am celebrating it by washing and lubing my bike outside on the patio, it could not be any more pleasant. I have paused to allow the bike to dry in the sea breeze before lubing the chain, this has given me the opportunity to write this post.
