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
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.

Last Sunday we had a fantastic display of the Northern Lights. My son took this from outside our front door. What a privilege to live somewhere where we can see this. I know a lot of people long to see them and it really can be spectacular. There are some great Facebook pages with some … More MyWeek in Pictures
Septemeber has been great in Orkney. Lovely warm sunny days where you can still sit outside at times. It won’t be long I’m sure when we make the mad dash from the house to the car and endure wet and windy misery for seemingly and age, but for now, it’s been superb. I still take … More My Week in Pictures
September skies continue to be amazing in Orkney. Apart from one day there was thick fog, it has been really lovely weather. I’m addicted to taking photos of the sky at the moment and I make no apology for it. I took this one from drive as I left for work on Monday. The evening … More My Week in Pictures
