I haven’t posted here for a while, as we have been busy with our move south. Now residing in Strathearn, in the heartlands of Scotland we are surrounded by a very different landscape from our time in Orkney. Although we miss the sea at times we are loving the more nurturing landscape of trees, mountains, rivers and lochs. Feeling truly blessed to be living in an area of such outstanding natural beauty.

As we move further into spring here in Orkney, the days are ever lengthening and we are getting the odd glimpse of blue skies and sunshine. Grey skies can be gorgeous here too though. The photo below was taken from the beautiful Brough of Birsay earlier this week.

As we enter April 2024, and British Summer Time, it's the start of what I term the 'yellow season' here in Orkney and beyond, as so many both native and introduced species of flowering plants at this time of year are yellow!

Sunshine and showers here in Orkney, as we enter the first days of March. The view from Old Nisthouse is as stunning as ever. It is such a beautiful awe inspiring, ever changing landscape.

Happy New Year! With all that’s happening across the globe as we journey through the first few weeks of 2024, our reconnection with nature and the sacredness of our beautiful Earth Mother feels more important than ever. It feels lovely to have had some heart warming sunsets here in Orkney in recent days renewing feelings of positivity and hope for all.
Stunning October light off the South Ronaldsay coast, Orkney. These images were taken on a welcome walk across the cliff tops after several days largely inside. Amazing how there are new areas, still to explore, after fourteen years here in the far north of the UK.

Stunning skies here this week in Orkney. The autumnal light seems to come earlier here in the far North of Scotland, so beautiful.
