January Ends
Posted: Thursday, 01 February 2007 |
We have been told by many a person that January is the windiest months and brings all manner of strange weather. Well we have had many a sleepless night this month lying listening to the wind getting up speed and battering the roof time after time. So far we have survived and I am sure that next January we would have forgotten this only to be reminded again,as the weather has a habit of doing that.
As we have taken to working on the interior of the house now that it is weather proof it was by chance that I managed to capture the strange clouds and truly spectacular sunset, the first in Febuary, which greeted us as we made our way back into the living part of the house.
Mr B and I sat on the wall in the garden and just looked at the changing colours as the sun set down behind Wideford Hill in Kirkwall.
The best sunset this year by far

Nice pictures. We had an excellent sunrise this morning.

Pictures 4 and 5: I assume the water that can be spotted is the sea. So, you have a very good view of the sea, and of mainland from many places in your house? Living in the middle of a desert, I keep forgetting Shapinsay is a small island.

February will be better. Are you expecting cards, or something more substantial? Tropical flowers? Orchids maybe? # Here: whatever I want, I get myself. Safer and easier that way.

A few minutes of peace like that, it reminds us of one reason we live in the Northern isles. Beautiful.

Yes Trevor it certainly does, glad to hear that your back and hope its not too painful. Mjc the pics are a bit misleading the stuff that looks like water is the puddles on the track, but we can see the sea almost 360 degrees all round us from where we are. nice on a sunny day.

We moved here in September 05 and have met many good friends. What more could you want from life.
