Shopping Week For almost 70 years now, the people of Stromness have been celebrating in style and encouraging people into Stromness to spend their money by hosting Shopping Week. It’s a huge event with all manner of activities for people old and young through the week. One of my favourite events is the daft raft race. … More My Week In Pictures
Beating the Monday Morning Blues At risk of sounding like a broken record, the weather was horrendous last weekend and once again no gardening could be done. However, typically with the weather conspiracy, that I’m beginning to wonder about, I woke up to a beautifully sunny morning on Monday when I’m due to go back to work. … More My Week in Pictures
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
”I do love a nice peg” Those words were actually spoken out loud by my colleague today as we were chatting about our love of pegging out. No not dying, hanging out the washing on a sunny day like the one we’ve had today. We were all saying how on days like today we go … More The Joy of Pegging Out
Waking Up to Snow Last week I wrote about buying my first pair of open toes in years. I even showed you a picture. 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
Hello loyal readers I’m taking a little break from blogging for a few days so there’ll be no My Week in Pictures on Sunday evening but I’ll leave you with a couple. There’s been a lot of thick fog in the mornings making for atmospheric misty views. I hope to be back soon and as always … More Be Back Soon
Weather Weary Once a year, for about half an hour, I get so sick of the weather and constant wind that I think I want to jack it all in, pack up and move. It quickly passes, but for that time it’s very real. I guess it’s the runner’s equivalent of hitting the wall. If I … More My Week in Pictures
Storm Doris A couple of years ago storms didn’t have names, they were just storms. Now they have names and seem more dramatic. This week saw the arrival of Storm Doris, and I live in such an exposed area I could barely stand up to get to the car. The waves were incredible and I … More My Week in Pictures
The universe decided to bring me down a peg or two this morning. Usually, I walk early in the morning before work, but on a Saturday off I can leave it to later on and have a cheeky lie in. Besides, it had been raining when I woke up and there was a chance things … More When Pride Comes Before a Fall
