I came home and raised a glass to a lovely cousin gone too soon, and to myself for securing a new beginning. And of course, in honour of Steph, I made sure the bubbly orange. I knew she would approve, and quite frankly it would be rude not to 😉 … More My Week In Pictures
Sunshine and Smiles It’s hard to believe we are approaching the end of May. But finally, we are getting some warmer, lovelier days which makes for much happier dog walks. I Â met a lady this morning who was on holiday and couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. Having arrived yesterday she was making the most … More My Week in Pictures
Miss Lashes sat her last ever Uni exam on Tuesday and I just don’t know where the time has gone. Â It was only yesterday I was driving all her wordly goods (she doesn’t travel light) down to Edinburgh and leaving her in her new digs crying all the way back. She starts work on Monday … More #ThrowbackThursday- Wondering Where The Time Goes
Lighthouse Love I love lighthouses, I love beautiful sun rises and I love my friend Sian’s cat for waking her up at 5am this morning to take this photo so that I didn’t have to.  😀 Sian lives on the small island of Graemsay which is about a 20 minute boat ride from Stromness. She also … More My Week in Pictures

This seemed to activate some pretty severe weather the following day as Monday morning we had heavy snowfall for several hours. As the day wore on I honestly wondered if I’d be … More My Week in Pictures
A Quick Summer Before Back To Winter Something monumental happened in my life this week.  After about ten years of not putting my goblin feet on display, I finally decided to buy a pair of open toe sandals and wore them to work. My colleague thought I was completely mad and insists we should be wearing … More My Week in Pictures
You could be forgiven if not from Orkney, if you read Fatty Cutties and thought it was something you needed to see a doctor with. You may call them something different in your neck of the woods but in actual fact, Fatty Cutties are something I was introduced to when I went to Westray and … More Fatty Cutties an Orkney Recipe
Holidays and Happiness I did one day’s work this week before taking a few days off.  9 days ‘holiday’ stretched out in front of me and it felt like an eternity.  Now it’s down to 3 and they will disappear quicker than I can unwrap and pack away a Flake down my neck without the dog … More My Week in Pictures
