Here they have created a short video with some of the producers promoting their wares.
11th November – At last, promise of a nice day. A colourful sunrise catches early morning swimmers emerging from a chilly sea,
18th November – This isn’t a great photo, definitely not calendar worthy, but I’m posting it as a record of our first snow this winter. The hills of Hoy are just visible above the golf course but the grey day makes for a dull pic.
20th November – It looks like the Orcadian cartoonist has been up at Ness Point. This is the location that we carried out our Shorewatches – with similar results!
24th November – The team in the Macmillan unit have started preparing for Christmas. A simply decorated tree gives some cheer in a stark corridor.
