Here we are again,

Once more into the breech.....so to speak!










Blogger is just as awkward to work as ever but on we go.

A lot has happened since the last Blog but......take a deep breath now

We have found a Hotel/Bar on an island named Stronsay just north of Orkney, we needed to sell our house to fund the purchase and that was when the 10 month nightmare of solicitors/ estate agents and every other money grabbing person you could imagine began.

Take another breath........a massive move later (Including cat) in a Transit van found us looking at the above sign.





That Aberdeen ferry would whisk us (well seven hours of whisking, a nights stopover and another hour and a half on the local ferry) to here......The Isle of Stronsay!!!
Unbelievably that picture was taken about three days ago and you can just make out a bit of snow glinting in the sun on the grass.


There is so much more to tell but I have to go and open the bar now, this bar being the only one on the island so...........







Until next time..........................

  1. Well you certainly have got a fair way away from Herne Bay. The only bar on the island, sounds perfect to me. Keep up the blog, sounds like it will be a story worth telling.
