We had a very frosty start to the week in Orkney and walking resembled Bambi on ice. I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to driving in it so I ended up persuading Orkney Beef to drive me into work as he doesn’t mind it so much. Instead I took pictures through the window … More My Week in Pictures
Of course, I have to start with all things weather related as we’ve had such extremes this week. Earlier on in the week we had really stormy weather with thunder and lightning which managed to knock out the phones and broadband in many homes and businesses. Fields nearby are flooded and will stay that way … More My Week in Pictures
Sorry for the delay in My Week in Pictures this week, it’s usually my Sunday night regular but we were away in Edinburgh and on Sunday evening I was on a boat back home. Added to that I’ve been persuaded to try something a bit different this week and done a vlog (video blog) It’s a … More My Week in (moving) Pictures
The temperature in Orkney has dropped considerably and I found myself having to clear a frozen windscreen this morning, which is a rare occurance here due to living so close to the sea. Anywhere else I’ve lived I’ve had to scrape an icy window most days between November and February, or at least try and … More Scenes From a Winter Morning.

I’m not sure about where you live, but in Orkney the weather has been really fantastic through September and October, but it definitely took a more Autumnal turn this week.

We had her for the day today and whilst I stupidly thought we may run out of things to do, as usual it was quite the opposite and she didn’t want … More How to Entertain a Four Year Old
Rainbows through the rain I drove home through the biggest shower of rain on Monday but arrived home to look back on where I’d driven to see a rainbow in the clouds. I’m a big fan of rainbows and they are a regular sight in Orkney skies. To the left of the above view is … More My Week in Pictures
We’ve had an incredible September/October here in Orkney but I think the weather is getting more traditionally seasonal now. We are managed to squeeze the last few drops of sunny skies out this week though, which made the Monday morning drive to work easier. This is the view heading down the road from my house. Having lived … More My Week in Pictures
Sunrise Sunset It could hardly be a week in pictures without me showing you this week’s sunrise and sunsets. They continue to be pretty incredible, especially for October as the weather has been beautiful. It’s been cooling down a bit but the sun shines bright and the skies continue to treat us to a multitude of … More My Week in Pictures
