Julia's

Alas it's back to 'auld claes an parritch' this morning, and wondering what people are doing in Stromness today when I am so far away.
It reminds me of my younger self wondering how the world could possibly go on after my death without my being part of it.

His Lordship and I are having a surprise visit from Daughter #3 who should be travelling back to Oman today, but who has had to reschedule her flights because of a BA delay on the connecting flight to London this morning meaning she would miss her Muscat flight.

We sat in the sun on the patio and had lunch.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

I did this hurried sketch of Julia's, our favourite café at Stomness harbour, whilst waiting for the ferry on Tuesday morning.
