Orkney Adventure 2024

[mariesnowgoose]

Got a free pet travel kit if anyone wants it?

Was intended for one of our cats but never been used.
Been sitting in our "pet cupboard" ever since.

Height when not in use is just under 18cm high by 15cm wide.

Can bring it up to Orkney if anybody can use it?

Curious .... will it actually get dark up there this time of year? still over a week to go before the longest day, I am about 250 miles south of Orkney and it was completely light at 4:30 this morning! Will the Solar Havesting be 24/7??

When I went it never got dark it sort of went to dusk and then started to brighten again so after a few wines you had no sense of what time it was unless you looked at a watch quite strange but you soon get used to it.

Yep..... edit, nope wrong week!

 

[spigot]

Bad news from Golf Club, bar shut!

Livotlout & I had to go thirsty, (though soon rectified that!), bar is run by volunteers since COVID, therefore not often open.

So, watch this space.

I have to stop reading this thread I’m soooo jealous that we can’t make it this year due to our son’s health so another trip to Scotland is on the cards.
