But seriously – how did we end up in June! Weather has largely been disappointing in the last fortnight. On Tuesday a group of us huddled … More My Week In Pictures – Sunsets and Scares
After some pretty serious indecisiveness, Orkney is finally playing ball and we’ve enjoyed some really gorgeous weather.
