Beautiful weather continues....
....and I'm out enjoying it!! Will be back soon and will answer comments etc....sorry - sun is calling! Photo above is of Stromness harbour on Friday as the haar (sea mist) was burning off.
LOL! Don't tell everyone though or we might be overrun with tourists ;-) I get outraged if there are people on a beach I want to walk upon these days....
Welcome Shauna! My name is Welsh. I'm not very good at writing how it is pronounced but I'll have a go..... something like "shahn", the "si" in Welsh is a "sh" sound. the a has a ^ upon it so that is an ah sound or a bit like "ar", and then the "n" to finish off. OOoh here's a link http://inogolo.com/pronunciation/Sian It's the top one!
Wonderful view, Sian. Did you know that the north of Scotland was warmer than Corfu at the end of last week? :-)

DeleteHi Sian,
ReplyDeleteI read your blog from Texas and enjoy it and the pictures.
I am curious how you pronounce your name?
Thanks, Shauna
