And yes the yoles are lovely boats - though I would only go on one in flat calm as I'm not much of a sailor!

We were also lucky enough to catch a tall ships' race in Funen when we visited Denmark a couple of years ago. Those tall masted ships always make me want to run away to sea. Ooh, and we saw a yole when we left Stromness on da ferry last summer - lovely wee boats.<br /><br />'Farewell to Stromness' has long been a favourite piece of mine. I am even trying to learn it on the piano - quite a challenge for the musically inept!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-55937715110934233442011-07-23T07:11:16.926+01:002011-07-23T07:11:16.926+01:00Love the photos.Love the photos.Harriethttp://theotherhalf-thecurateswife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-13249667025679120262011-07-21T14:00:48.853+01:002011-07-21T14:00:48.853+01:00Superb photos, Sian and glad to see the glimpses o...Superb photos, Sian and glad to see the glimpses of blue sky - more than enough to make a sailor a pair of trousers :-)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.com
