Catching Up

It's probably just as well I didn't rush out and buy sunglasses yesterday, as the weather has reverted to type with early low cloud hanging over the hills and no sun anywhere to be seen. However there was little wind and it was mild enough for  Poppy to look summery without a coat when she met me with Mike in Kirkwall for our first blether of the holiday. His Lordship having discovered as the bus pulled into Stromness for the outward journey that he had forgotten his wallet, had to join us later.

Over bacon and egg rolls and the ubiquitous scone, we put the world to rights before arranging to meet again next week, leaving His Lordship wondering what on earth we have left to talk about. He has no idea what two ladies who only see each once a year have still to say to each other.

This was the only blip of the day, taken at  9:15 as we left for Kirkwall- possibly the shock of the referendum result has had an effect.

There may or may not be an extra after our meal tonight with IainatCreel and the 'present Mrs Creel'.

And here it is after a fabulous meal at the Hamnavoe restaurant.
