...... once I have recovered from a nasty stomach bug that snuck up on me at the weekend. Feeling better today so hopefully well on road to recovery. The weather has been glorious - typical, just when I can't enjoy it to the full! But veggies have been growing without my constant attention and I shall just ignore the weeds for now!
A group of school children and their teachers arrived on the island a couple of hours ago for a visit to the beach. They are from Stromness Primary School, and at least they have a warm sunny day to explore rock pools and make sand-castles! It's surprising the number of Orcadians who remark upon their only visit to Graemsay having been on a school trip or a Sunday School picnic. At least these kids will have memories of sunshine and sand to take home with them - plus a few shells from the beach too!
Sorry about your bug. I do hope you're better soon.
ReplyDeletehope you feel better soon - not swine flu I hope??
ReplyDeleteHope you are brighter now, Sian. Have been watching the weather in Orkney & Shetland - looks a bit dismal today. It has been sunny in Shetland lately so hopefully it's just a blip before we arrive there next Tuesday. Am also following the "twitters" & blogs of someone who arrived in Stromness on the ferry this morning - rain again! If you're interested, this is his page: http://x333xxx.wordpress.com/ A really interesting chap who had to leave Lewis recently due to health problems. Bye for now, Jo.
