Kirkwall

Wide awake and reading my book between 4.00 - 7.00 am.  Made a coffee at the back of seven.  Post coffee (no stamps required) we arose and busied ourselves with preparations for a visit to the bolt hole.  But prior to the ferry we went and danced Alex Doig's Jig ( a CMC favourite) Startled Rabbits, Ayrshire Lassies, the Bees of Maggieknockater, the Trolley in the Precinct etc.  We cut the grass and CMC chatted to a passing Mrs Aberdein.

Kind folk in Alva have posted back the shoe horn.
