January 2026

2nd January – Happy New Year everybody.

We had a quiet Hogmanay in Stromness. New Year’s Eve was blessed with gales and heavy rain. Few revellers ventured out and the midnight fireworks didn’t happen. Instead there was a midnight chorus of ship’s horns in the harbour.

We woke, this morning, to our first proper snowfall. The roads are quite tricky, so we probably won’t venture too far today. Graham Place was looking very festive, with few people about the snow is still fairly untouched.
