"On the hundredth morning" Shouldn't you have saved that till last? Or am I missing something?
Gorgeous picture. I WILL get to Orkney one day. We've been looking at it but the prices are just silly from here. It would cost us nearly a grand just to get to Aberdeen. :(
For the second time this morning I am writing 'dammit' in response to a remark about this post!! (Sina on FB mentioned quilts/handcrafts and I immedtiately thought of a satin-appliquéd cushion cover) and now, yes of course if I'd had brain in gear I might've saved this 'til last. But I was thinking moons. And will hope to find another reference to a hundred somewhere else. Re Orkney - we are going up for a second time this year, for a crime-writers festival in October and yes I am told that it'll cost a grand if we fly from Edinburgh. Seriously I would recommend the ferry from Scrabster to Stromness as the absolute best way to arrive in Orkney for the first time, but it's a lot of driving to get there. B&Bs on the way are excellent though ...
