May 2023

 Hello everyone, welcome to our blog photos for May.

 The North Ronaldsay sheep always like to keep an eye on Wilma and I on our walks 

and as we walk past a Norse grave not far from the cottage, a piece of gruesome history !

~~~~~~~

Anne's little dog Teddy was due for a hair cut and seeing as the nearest groomer is a plane ride away a kitchen table session was the next best thing.

Meet Ronald the raven, with a name like that he just had to come and live on North Ronaldsay.

Drawn by a long-time friend, Kelly from Norfolk, we love him ! 

If you would like to see more of Kelly's art,

It's been lovely having our new-look medic back on the island to look after us all again this month, always smiling.

Friends from Norfolk made their first trip to North Ronaldsay this month and kept us entertained.

they loved the walks and the beaches

but not too sure about the fifteen minute flight,

 they'd never been on such a small plane before

nor watched a pilot clean his own windscreen !

just love the name of the plane, 

Earl Thorfinn the Mighty !

This next lovely photograph was taken by Kelvin on his trip, thank you for letting me include it on the blog

Thank you Kelvin, Suzanne, Mark and Tracey for coming to see us

Good to see Marina again this month, who at 88 walks daily the length and breadth of the island,

see you again in November

Pause for thought

So from Tilly

Zara

and us

we wish you a beautiful month of June and a happy Solstice

Malcolm and June

Namaste
