I hate to be a cliche but Spring has finally sprung. I can’t say we reached the dizzy heights of basking in the bank holiday sunshine like the rest of the UK but it has been quite nice today. That’s as far as it goes really but any sunshine is welcome. Stromness really lends itself to sunshine … More My Week In Pictures – Sea, Shells and Spring
I don’t know how it happened, but last time I looked it was early January and now we are in Mid April. I’m happy to be midway through any month because it means pay day, but I’m once again surprised at the speed that the months go by. The morning drive to work is much … More My Week In Pictures – Salt On My Skin
After over 12 months Orkney Beef has finally put the long-awaited shelves up. And by put the shelves up I mean he tagged me in a for sale post on Facebook where a cabinet was posted that would fit neatly in to the space where the shelves should have gone, and I messaged the seller and … More My Week In Pictures – Swimming, Calving, Shelving.
I’m back! Did you miss me? I’ve been away in much sunnier climates on the island of Lanzarote which was unbelievably fantastic and I’m now sat in front of the fire thanks to the good old Orkney welcome of snow and wind. *rolls eyes* It really was a brilliant week away for us both and … More My Week In Pictures -Norq from Lanzarote
I’ve been flat out with work this week and by Thursday I could’ve sworn I met myself coming back the other way.

It’s no secret I normally … More My Week In Pictures – The Best February Ever
I realize I’m fast becoming a bore and I should expect a mass unfollowing because all I do is bang on about cold water swimming. But readers, I’M NOT SORRY! I’m having the best time ever and have transitioned from ‘do it for a dare’ to ‘I’m hooked, I’m obsessed and finally reaching I’m addicted’ … More My Week In Pictures – Wild Swimming Addiction
It’s not the winter itself that breaks me. I can almost cope with the perpetual wind, rain and darkness. What breaks me is the mud, that by now has been churned up everywhere. After several months of wintery weather, the moving of vehicles in various states of repair around our house, and just not having a chance … More My Week In Pictures – If You Can’t Beat It, You Might As Well Join It.
January seems to have gone on forever but we’ve made it through. As one of my 49 things for 49 years challenges I’m capturing a moment each day and mashing it together in a video using an app. So here’s my January in 30 seconds. It starts with celebrations and finishes with me consoling myself … More My Week In Pictures – Love Is…..
Blue Monday was far from blue going by the beautiful sunrise which greeted me on my way to work. I had decided to take my own advice and have an early night, with clean sheets on the bed and extend the slumber so I missed my early morning exercise class and swim. My laziness was rewarded … More My Week In Pictures – It’s Official. Orkney Is The Best Place To Live
