Fighting sleep . . .

Lottie's little eyes are just about closed, but she's not wanting to miss anything!

Mike was on puppy duty this morning as I was working in the shop.  We opened specially for a couple of coaches from the Marco Polo cruise liner, and sold dozens of post cards!  Poor folk, they couldn't believe how cold and windy it was, even though they had only come from the south of England.  A bit of a whistle stop tour, they had been on Loch Ness yesterday and were leaving Orkney for the Western Isles this evening.  Each coach only had 30 minutes in the village, but there was one lovely elderly lady from Berkshire who wished she could stay in Orkney for the rest of her holiday!
