Would be cool if this was finally the beginning of the end:

#Brexit #Orkneys

#Orkneys to look at proposals to become territory of Norway. "We're failed by both British and Scottish governments" and "we can't go on as we are".

Die erste Nacht auf den #Orkneys, und langsam komme ich im Urlaub an. Bei der Fährfahrt war das Wetter auch gut genug, um den Old Man of Hoy zu sehen

@AlanRTSpencer it takes 40 mins to see the light, but interesting set if resources from #UHI re #Orkneys
Happy #Solstice

#StandingStonesSunday

Late to the party but here’s the Ring of Brodgar in the #Orkneys

The Ring of Brodgar for #StandingStoneSunday.

We had the stones to ourselves as the sun slowly set, casting raking light across the stones. It's one of my favourite memories, it was so utterly beautiful and tranquil.

@Jnet I went back too, I’d spent years disliking everything Australian and pining for the UK but when we got there, of course, it was all different…

We stayed a few years and I kept thinking ‘When will it start to feel like home?’. But it never did.

Made the decision to return to Oz, and I’m so glad as Australia now ‘feels like home’, at last!

Of course I still miss the museums #Ashmolean #V&A the art galleries, places we visited #Edinburgh #Orkneys #Oxford and the food! #M&S 😄
