It’s been another incredibly busy week and someone asked me recently how I fit it all in. I know what you’re all thinking. ‘I bet she has feral kids, beans on toast every night and a trashed house’ and to be honest you’re not far wrong. I long for life to slow down and was only … More My Week In Pictures -Fitting Two Weeks Into One.
Two things herald the arrival of Autumn. Hay bales in the field and the new season of Strictly. Neither disappointed this week. If I could bottle the mood of Friday 20th September I would, and I’d sell it and make a fortune. That tiny pocket of time where the weather is right for harvest, and … More My Week In Pictures – September Mood and Waving Starfish
A farmer once told me that farmer’s spend their life ‘looking over hedges’ Checking to see the progress their neighbouring farms are making and who was where with the seasonal work. We don’t have many hedges in Orkney. Instead we have miles and miles of dry stone dykes (walls) and fences, and if you look … More My Week In Pictures – Season Change
Just when you thought it was safe to come back on the internet, I’m back! The last few weeks has largely been work and swimming. Over the summer weeks, there are lots of shows and events including Stromness Shopping Week. An annual event with lots of things to take part in including the Holms Race. … More My Summer In Pictures – I’m Back!

After some pretty serious indecisiveness, Orkney is finally playing ball and we’ve enjoyed some really gorgeous weather. Lots of getting outside and playing in the sea as well as test driving the new hot tub. I don’t really get hot tubs tbh. I’ve never been bothered with the idea of them, this was an Orkney … More My Week In Pictures – Middle-Aged Adventures and Feeling Good.

There’s not better Sunday evening than one where you don’t have to go to work on the Monday. Thanks to a Bank Holiday I’m living my best life right this second as I can look forward to going to bed and not setting the alarm. This doesn’t happen often! To top off the joy it’s the … More My Week In Pictures – Looking for Sunbeams
A transformation is taking place in me that I’m loving. You may remember last December I decided to try and do 49 challenges for being 49. Some more taxing than others, and this led to sea swimming in January, which led to sea swimming every week which led to photos like these being taken of … More My Week In Pictures – Smiles and Sunsets
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
