Good evening all. We have had a very long day. We had to get up at 6am so we could go and buy a packed lunch before catching the car ferry to Westray which is actually one of the most remote northerly islands.
The ferry was larger than yesterday’s, but still open plan for the cars. We didn’t sit in the car for this crossing though.
The weather was amazing. High of 17C and sunshine all the way. It was very windy which brought the “feels like” down quite a bit.
The island is a mix of white sandy beaches and high cliffs. We walked over 10 miles admiring scenery and birds (mostly nesting on the cliffs)
Early morning from the ferry
One of many puffins
Beaches
Sea cliffs
Requiring a lighthouse

And there’s also a “castle” built circa 1500 but never actually completed.
The builder was a bit of a baddy and paranoid that everyone was out to get him. As a result, what he built had holes for guns every few feet from knee level to the top.
It is so drafty as all the main rooms have holes in the walls. I think his wife flatly refused to move in which would be why it never got finished

One of my nephews went to see that this afternoon.
Between the Royal wedding, football cup final and sun, I bet he had the cinema to himself!

Lol. My eldest went to see it this afternoon as well. He said it was awesome and totally worth it.
We have to go home tomorrow, but the flight times have changed and we will probably arrive home very early on Monday.
You've had a very busy holiday Linda, you'll be glad to go home for a rest!
Is it the time of the little plane that has changed?
Shame. And Yayyy. Always sad when a holiday ends. But I bet you are and will be happy to be home and sleep in your own bed.
Nos da Lyn. Sleep tight and sweet dreams.
I am also going to go to sign off for tonight. So Good night, sleep tight and sweet dreams everyone. Not chat tomorrow.

Well... We bought the tractor.
It doesn't move. Will run wonderfully and the hydraulics seem to work well. It just doesn't "go".
Hubby says it could be a couple of different things. Shouldn't be expensive to fix, just time consuming. Yeah, like we have tons of that to go around!
I'll take a pic once it stops raining..

It’s the most comfortable theater ever!! I had one beer and the movie was great!
The flights have been complicated right from the start. There used to be an airline that flew direct from Gatwick to Kirkwall, but they pulled out of the route earlier this year and refunded our money. So we ended up booking a return to Gatwick-Glasgow with EasyJet then a return Glasgow-Kirkwall with Logan Air.
Easy Jet changed their Gatwick-Glasgow flight on the way up so we had a very long wait in Glasgow. Then Logan Air cancelled the return flight to Glasgow which gave us no choice but to get a later flight and to rebook the EasyJet Glasgow-Gatwick.
It’s worked out rather expensive unfortunately.
It’ll keep him out of mischief
Without it he’d be looking for walls to knock down or something. My Dad was very similar.
