First weekend in Orkney

We arrived on the ferry in the early hours of Friday January 6th 2006. Really very straightforward, even the piano went in without a hitch. On the Sunday we had beautiful bright weather so had a walk up the hill (less than a mile from the house). As usual, click a photo for less compressed version.

Term is under way, Jenny's class lovely, most boxes unpacked. Need to put beds together before we have our first overnight guests, though!
