January 2024

 Welcome everyone, hope the new year has started well for you and hope you enjoy this month's photographs.

New Year's Day fun in the waves

 

  albeit a bit lonely

A North Ronaldsay tradition on New Year's Day is to dance around the Standing Stone

        

and share a dram or two

thank you Tom for your beautiful fiddle playing !

~~

I tell folk that North Ronaldsay doesn't get much snow as it's too windy but this month it gave us a fair sprinkling !

Have you seen these ?

a great idea all ways round

 less heavy shopping to bring home, less space in the cupboard, easy to use and they work.

Pause for thought

All our animals are doing fine and just taking it easy (as usual) and keeping cosy
