Those of you who follow my Norq From Ork Facebook page will know I’ve been whinging incessantly for days that I’ve been laid low with a virus this week. A strange thing which made me so dizzy I couldn’t walk to the bathroom without holding on to the wall. Swimming was ditched and I spent the whole of … More My Week In Pictures
It was cold enough to freeze your face into an expressionless mask that won’t move. Nature’s botox.
A few weeks into it I asked Orkney Beef if he thought I’d lost weight. He looked terrified as if he was about to tread on a landmine and blow himself to pieces. … More My Week In Pictures
And of course the party goers reached the stage where they all prop each other up, sing with arms swaying and love every body. … More My Week in Pictures
Last week I started with rainbows but this Monday was quite the opposite. Storm Ophelia was well on the rampage around the rest of the country and Orkney managed to miss the worst of it.

Others prefer Autumn and write poetically about it making it almost sound bearable. For me it’s no secret that … More My Week In Pictures
Last week went by in a blur. It would be too boring to say I’ve been so busy blah blah blah. But with a daily swim before work *cough* humble-brag *cough*, working 9-5 (you’re all singing Dolly Parton now aren’t you?) lunch dates, and evenings out I feel like I’ve met myself coming back the … More My (late) Week In Pictures
Do not adjust your set. The picture you see here wasn’t taken in Barbados but actually taken right here in Orkney, this week. Sunset at Yesnaby by photographer Graham Lyon who kindly gave me permission to use it. We are having a mix of beautiful days and some less so, but my favourite thing about … More My Week in Pictures
