I got up this morning and opened my curtains and honestly my first thought was 'I'm so lucky.' The sun was shining and all I could see from my window was a pattern of green and blue stripes; the grass in my so called 'garden', sea, the green hills on the other side of the Sound and then the sky.
It is now blowing a gale and the sky has greyed up, but there's nothing like a burst of Orkney magic first thing to set you up for the day. We really are so lucky and so privileged that we can live here, and the next time I'm bemoaning the lack of a Waterstones any nearer than Aberdeen I shall try and remember that.
