Sunshine yesterday, but early last week it was grey skies. Still warm and NO WIND! Oh the joy! And not too many midges either! So here are a few random photos... Above the old lighthouse pier at Sandside at high tide. Looking over to Stromness.....
Creels on top of the lighthouse pier...
Lighthouse pier and the Hoy hills across Sandside bay...
Sandside bay at high tide...
Old byres..... these were once lived in as a dwelling house but would then be repurposed as a byre for the cattle.
In the old houses, shelves would be inset into the wall for jugs of water...
Dolores (black hen) is integrating well into the flock, hanging out with her pals...
One of the hens hasn't been doing her pelvic floor exercises - she randomly drops eggs around!
And I've been checking this nest box all summer - nothing.... I stop checking and one of the hens sneaks in to lay a clutch of eggs!
So a grey day but still good to get out and about
