Drama Queen

So, this is the sight that should have greeted me - my visit planned to co-incident with the installation of a brand new, fully functioning fire.
But this is Orkney.
What greeted me was a hole knocked in the wall from outside! And these walls are feet thick.
Hence the drama queen moment. Well, my journey had started at 3am for goodness sake.
Anyway, fast forward 2 days and here you have a soon to be roaring fire. (The first one, using up the last of the firefighters, petered out). Gulp.
