And if you need any pointers to info etc for your move just ask. There are lots of Orkney Facebook groups too so take a look at those - even if you don't want to join. I moved to Graemsay 16 years ago and the time has gone so fast I love it so much :-)Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-67901921483147130262016-07-24T15:36:24.373+01:002016-07-24T15:36:24.373+01:00Sarah do you have a link for your blog?

The way of life up here really makes you appreciate the little things.

Upon visiting one I noticed a sign forbidding smoking in the lighthouse because the floors were saturated with oil over the years and one dropped match ... well you know.<br /><br />This post was very informative. I love how you have stone walls around your gardens.<br /><br />I really do think I should have been born on your little island.sybilhttp://crittersnus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-19146815312981413372016-07-08T05:01:47.126+01:002016-07-08T05:01:47.126+01:00You live in such a beautiful and interesting place...You live in such a beautiful and interesting place.

We visited Graemsay 3 weeks ago, walking around the island clockwise and ending up with a picnic on the beach at Sandside Bay - beautiful and only 3 types of weather that day! Your description of island life is helping us to prepare for our move to Orkney in a few years time, all we need to do is decide which island and find the right property!<br />Best wishes<br />Stuart & CathStuartnoreply@blogger.com
