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.

Beautiful photo! I'm glad to hear that you've got more time to yourself now.
ReplyDeleteHello Jenny :-) Yes it's lovely isn't it. The fields are covered in wild flowers now - we are getting some rain, but between the showers we have been out.
ReplyDeleteBirsay is one of my favourite spots! And yes there were a lot of folk about on the solstice night. There was a party in full swing on the first beach we went to, but wanting a little more quite to appreciate "nature" we moved on....! Thanks for the link to my blog. Hope you can get out to Graemsay sometime this summer?
