Stunning Orkney Landscapes
Blessed with warmer weather here in Orkney in recent weeks we’ve been revisiting some of our favourite coastal haunts, truly stunning. Here are just a few photos of the amazing landscape here, further enhanced by blue skies.

Hedgehog Wood
Yesterday I visited ‘Hedgehog Wood', a tiny area of woodland just down the track from our current home here in Orkney. This beautiful jewel of woodland, so named because of the way it's been shaped by the prevailing westerly winds, came with our house. We’ve managed it by doing very little, a bit of clearing out initially of some accumulated rubbish and gun cartridges. Some crystal planting to cleanse and return peace to the land and enhance elemental life, and then simply allowing nature to take its course.
The results are stunning an oasis of flowers, trees and plants, ever-changing through the seasons and a marked contrast to the heavily farmed land around. It’s such a reminder of the beauty and harmony of nature, when we undo our human inflictions to our Earth Mother, replace these with positive energy, and then simply surrender to her flow.
