Standing Stone at Stenness

My Guardian Weather Angel was looking after me this morning when she allowed me to cycle to the Ring of Brodgar in the dry. She only let it rain after I got back for breakfast at 7:30.

How often is the weather good first thing in the morning but quickly deteriorates?
Unusually, today the rain was warm rain and didn’t prevent a bus trip to Kirkwall and a coffee and scone at my second favourite café in Orkney. The scone was so big I put half of it in my bag to eat later.

With the rain paused, I visited an older friend in Kirkwall who used to stay with us when she was down in Edinburgh on Girl Guiding business, before I bussed back to Stromness.

I felt that having put in an action packed morning, I could then sit at my window for a bit and watch the sea without feeling too guilty.

Now it’s time for an afternoon walk before I open the small bottle of red wine waiting for me. My Guardian angel has stopped the rain for me again.

would you open your door during the evening to this man? I did!
