Early mornings

It's just after 6am, the sun is shining and I've already been awake for 2 hours.  The light mornings are beginning to affect my body clock.  I must order a pair of blackout curtains for the bedroom or I'm going to be awake even earlier as the length of the day expands.

Happily, the benefit of waking so early is that I can get my exercise routine out the way and spend little more time online.  

Outside the birds are chattering away.  Below are a couple of photographs to show what it was like earlier on.  As you can see we are getting more and more cattle in the fields.  Many of them have young calves with them.




Not a cloud in the sky.

    Haven't the last few days been fantastic weather?! Blackout curtains or blinds are a good idea. I love having the windows open and listening to all the bird calls while I work.

    It's been fantastic Sian. Being new to Orkney I love the call made by the Curlews. I'm starting to distinguish some of the other bird calls as well, such as the Oystercatchers. I still love the sound of our little blackbird as he sings outside our window in the early morning and late evening. It must be wonderful to work from home and have the calls as your background music!
