Longer days and lots to do

June was a busy month in the Learner Gardener household.  I had something personal in my life I had to complete, and this has taken most of my spare time over the last few weeks.  When I could, I put a little time aside and the Biker Man and I would spend a quiet hour or two out and about in the countryside and on Orkney's beautiful beaches.  We spent the solstice evening at Birsay, walking along the coastline and taking photographs at 10.30 pm.  We didn't stay up as late as Life on a Small Island but hope to make it to midnight one of these years.  Having to get up early for work put paid to doing the midnight watch this year.  However I think a good many people were intending to stay up late, we left quite a few people behind enjoying the view as we left Birsay that evening.
