Orkney in the Top Ten!

Been trying to think of an image to show you how lovely it is living in Stromness when we heard the news today that Orkney is in the top 10 locations of places to live. This image was used to launch the press release so I deciced to show you it here - this is the exact scene we see from our bedroom window - we are close enough to the ferry to hear the anouncements as she approaches the terminal

Post early for Christmas

So if you read the other blog post you'll know we had a postcard to deliver. We had to trudge through the snow to get to the rightful recipient who lives only a mile from where we are renting a flat. The card was from his brother and sister-in-law who travelled to the Galapagos Islands. They arrive home tomorrow so I am sure they will be well impressed!
