I don't drive outside of Orkney now and I spent most of the time as a passenger with my eyes shut down the lanes if traffic came towards us - not helpful when I was meant to be nagivating! We got lost too - the signposts (even with eyes OPEN) are not always helpful. Ah well we got to see bits of scenery we would otherwise have missed.

I am just catching up, haven't been in the blogosphere much recently, so am looking forward to savouring your other posts about Devon, Dorset and (lovely, lovely) donkeys. <br /><br />Oh, those shoes, though! How could you leave them, especially if you could actually walk in them?! Of course I giggle at the thought of such shoes on Graemsay, but I have been known to fall for impractical shoes myself, and just having them to walk around the house in occasionally gladdens the soul!Dancing Beastiehttp://dancingbeastie.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-88210500317843406362012-09-16T16:10:57.601+01:002012-09-16T16:10:57.601+01:00Brilliant pictures Sian.
