Water, water everywhere.....

But only beer to drink!












The island is being battered by some good strong southerly winds at the moment, they also seem to have brought an awful lot of water with them.

The Linkspan (Ferry Ramp) is getting a good soaking.








The sea was finding any little low spot and invading it











Not too much in the way of sea defence along this bit.








Is this 30 MPH or 30 Knots?








Just in case you have been locked in a box for a while........Christmas is on it's way!!!








We hosted the local school's staff Christmas dinner the other day, which seemed to go down well as there was nothing left for my supper.




Well.........This is the big one!

We have been here for a whole year today, a year in the blink of an eye, it just doesn't seem possible.

A celebratory party is organised for this Saturday which will include the "Santa Float" bringing Santa to the hotel for the kiddies (Young and old) followed by a Christmas Disco and buffet.

Lets hope the weather improves a bit!!





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

  1. A year passes so quickly on Stronsay. You've made a big difference to the island's social life, thankyou!

  2. Arrived here via "Life on a small island"... things are looking a mite washed out in your area of the world.
    I am amazed that the water is right over the edge of the road ! I find your area of the world quite lovely.

    Merry Christmas from Nova Scotia.
