I hope to organise this blog a bit better now it is growing – so here I plan to put all the stuff to do with Orkney, where we live. Also known as the Orcades or the Orkney Islands and mistakenly the Orkneys – I am less pedantic than many when it comes to names of places. In my mind it is something that evolves over time. Just because we now see things in black and white letters doesn’t mean they cannot alter.
Anyhow, this page is about the islands here in the north of Scotland, called Orkney.
Until I get all the organisation done I suggest you continue to use the categories down the right hand side of this blog.

I’m interested in the Orkney Islands for the same reason I live in Alaska, it is one out the out of the way places to the north. I am an avid knitter and the traditions in wool that come from that part of the world are another interest I have. Keep writing.

Dear Lynn,
Thanks for writing – do please keep in touch – I have been a bit busy outdoors and so my writing has been neglected.
My day to day activities are on Twitter as “Orkneysurvival” but otherwise I will have to write more about life here and get more photos up.
Where in Alaska are you? I’d love to get there and spend a long time in the outdoors. Have you a blog?
As I say, keep in touch.
Best wishes ~ M
