Our house faces east so we always get incredible sunrises.

As the sun sets to the west we get incredible red skies behind our house towards Wideford Hill.

James took this picture of the moon tonight using a tripod and his Google Pixel 8 phone. Luckily there is not much artificial light on the Kirkwall outskirts.

Recent evening exploration up towards the remains of the 10th C Viking chapel and settlement remains at the Brough of Deerness.

The path up is not for the faint of heart 😁. My private tour clients did a great job.

Can’t believe it’s been a year since I have taken these two amazing sisters from Indiana on tour.

Orkney is a better place with people like Hannah and Rachael who are from a farming family which has great connections to Orkney.

Scallops for a late lunch. We are so lucky here in Orkney. These delicious scallops came from Kirkwall bay shellfish. An incredible deal of £10 for 12 hand dived scallops. So I lightly fried them with Orkney butter and I added a wee measure of Balvenie Caribbean cask for extra decadence. They tasted 🤤 heavenly. #kirkwallbayshellfish #orkneyuncovered #flavoursensation

Thanks for everyone who bought a book at the The Orcadian Bookshop I have just been in and signed another batch of the books.

Huge thank you to everyone so far who has bought my book: Adventures with Orkney Uncovered. With your help we have raised £400 so far for the Felix Fund - The Bomb Disposal Charity . With future sales and new books on the horizon this will generate more money for those who need it. If you wish to buy a book check out Amazon and the Orcadian Bookshop. Thanks again for your support and have a good laugh on me.

Let there be light 😁

Love listening to the light waves roll in from the North Sea to Newark beach.

Inner workings of the chime of the bells at St Magnus Cathedral.

Holly and I having afternoon walkies near the Orkney Golf Club. Will be nice to see summer again and hopefully get out of the quagmire fields 😁. #hollyandkinlay #afternoon
