I've been away from my blog for far too long! Even though Orkney can have up to 18 hours of sunlight at midsummer, there still don't seem to be enough hours in the day. The Biker Man and I love the life here. The countryside and coast is accessible and the wildlife is stunning. I'll do my best to give a flavour of some of the things we have done over the last couple of months. It will take a few blog entries to catch up ....
Just a perfect day
We took a trip over to Rousay for the day. The weather was perfect and we managed to get a long walk in. Here are some of the pictures ....

Rousay is one of the inner isles to the north of Orkney. We often view it when walking on the beach at Evie. It is a beautiful island and from the North you can look across the sea to Westray and Sanday. We managed to get quite a few lovely photographs. I won't post too many today, and will save them for my next blog, but here are just a few of them.

Welcome Back! But I know what you mean about longer daylight but not enough hours..... I have blog entries to catch up on too. I look forward to seeing more photos. Rousay is one of my favourite islands (after Graemsay of course!)
ReplyDeleteLife is so relaxed here, but I always seem to be doing something or other Sian :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm always taking photographs so I don't think I'll every catch up!
