I thought that some may like this. It's a pity that it is not the full "Gathering" as there are many more of them.

The last few photos in this lot are the full "Gathering" And the music is from the gathering.

Friday 19th October 2012 LET'S HAVE ANOTHER GO AT KEEPING THE BLOG UP TO DATE AS SUMMER IS OVER. We just returned from going down south for Millie's christening and while we were down, I was chastised by several people for not putting anything on the blog recently, so I thought that I had better make some time. This morning we were greeted by a beautiful little goldcrest coming to see us. Well actually it flew into the french windows and knocked itself out.

This morning as usual in Orkney, is a lovely, sunny, flat calm day so I will have to take Molly out for a walk in a few minutes. I will perhaps try to do a quick "catch-up" tonight about all the summer things that I never put on the blog because there was too much to do. Loads of chicken prizes, including one for Maddy. Barbara, Harry and Maddy up here for a holiday, Minke whales in Echna Bay, my superb fishing skills, not to mention my outstanding art works. We are having the play room/sun lounge built at long last so maybe it will be finished for Christmas. Loads of fascinating stuff and photos if I can find them, so watch this space.
