We've had 70mph winds, rain, hail, sleet, and yes, even snow, these last few days. The snow looked pretty for a while but hasn't stayed long. Thankfully we are due for some calm days now. The wind really cools the house down so I prefer the calmer weather! Plus I sleep better! I've been battling a virus the last couple of weeks (hence lack of posts), but did go out and about a bit today so here are a few photos from a slightly snowy Graemsay!
Above.... Button's response to all the weather! She neither likes loud weather, or cold paws.... and who can blame her....
Earlier this morning (sunrise now about 8.53 am, but it takes a while to rise about East Hill on Graemsay) with the farm, Windbreck, to the right of the rising sun.
And then the sky clears a little before the next dark cloud....
Meanwhile over the Hoy Hills the weather kept changing....
An then the snow arrives .....
and clears again....
Facing North towards Stromness.....
And the Orphir hills behind Hoy High light....
Then this afternoon, as the sun sets behind the Hoy hills, over on the East side of the island.... (photos taken about 3.30pm)
The croft of Crookshouse (known as C'euks).
Some of the kye (cattle) out in the field....
Looking over towards Orphir....
Over the rooftop of Clett to Hoy.....
And the kids made a mini snowman!! Kids are never daunted by lack of materials!
I hope to be back blogging again and responding to comments soon!
