A short video

A lovely video to be sure, but I feel they missed a lot more. Not that a place could be summarised so easily in three minutes. Nonetheless, very cool to see so many familiar faces.

Folklore all around us

The hatchlings and I enjoy taking walks any day the wind is not blowing too strong.

Meanwhile, I am currently writing a book on Orkney folklore, 

and since I started researching,

Orkney no longer looks the same.

Let me share with you,

some of the things we have seen along our adventures.

A house within a house.

That house is actually Clestrain Hall, where John Rae was born. 

(John Rae is the explorer credited with finding the northwest passage.)

Land trow?

A selkie on the shore.

St. George?

And a pipe band at the Lammas fayre.
