Playing in the snow with @kathietouin.bsky.social makes Domino tired. #Orkney #snow #BorderCollie

#Orkney West Mainland #sunrise over #snow with starlings ...

Walked to the head of our track with @kathietouin.bsky.social and Domino this morning. The road is passable to vehicles, the track is not - but I could walk up the hill to the village shop if we run out of supplies. #Orkney

Domino and @kathietouin.bsky.social show the height of the #snow drift next to our garage. And a view of our house from the track. #Orkney

The #snow drifts around our house are reaching ridiculous proportions. #Orkney #BorderCollie

And even more drifting #snow! Here's Domino and @kathietouin.bsky.social in our enclosure. #Orkney

And more #snow in #Orkney West Mainland - the first two images are our view, the third image shows the drift next to our garage.

#Snow in #Orkney West Mainland.

Yesterday we went to the Phoenix Cinema, Kirkwall to see Alan Bennett's The Choral (excellent). Afterwards we called at Lidl and then had to (happily) stop on our return home while the brilliant charity fundraising Tractor Run went past. #Orkney

Good morning and a happy 28th to you from outside our house at 9.30am. The aircraft trail is from a Turkish Airlines Chicago to Istanbul flight. #Orkney #sunrise

Boxing Day greetings from Domino's walk. #Orkney is very still and quiet. There's a blanket of cloud but bright sky over the Hoy hills.

Domino unwrapping his Christmas presents. #BorderCollie #Orkney

Christmas greetings, wishing you a relaxing and peaceful day. It's still dark outside so here's last night's #sunset seen from our house. #Orkney

It was a special concert with three very special new works. It’s all happening in Orkney.

Lovely to hear Three Times by @kathietouin.bsky.social in St Magnus Cathedral. Kathie is pictured, with flowers for her Highly Commended piece, with competition winners Andrew Woodward & Robert Tullock. The awards were presented by Master of the King's Music, @errollynwallen.bsky.social #Orkney

A bonny day in #Orkney - the Bay of Skaill, with Atlantic waves rolling in, and St Peter's Kirk under a blue sky.

A run in the field with Domino, lunch at Birsay Bay Tearoom and the Northern Lights (plus a walk with Domino & Kathie and a request on BBC Radio Orkney) - not a bad birthday ... #Orkney

The Dounby Christmas tree lighting. #Orkney

A rainbow over the Old School, Quoyloo (community centre) on Domino's walk. #Orkney #BorderCollie

Domino got a walk in just before the heavy rain - he's spotted the field that now has sheep. #Orkney #BorderCollie

It's very cold but we had to have a game in the field with Domino and his orange snake on his 4th birthday. #Orkney #BorderCollie

Domino did well on his social dog walk today but at the coffee break he started barking at the statue of John Rae. #Orkney

Today would have been Roscoe's birthday. So Domino and I went to visit his grave in the enclosure he loved to explore. #Orkney

Mist rolling in is lit by the moonlight. #Orkney

Domino paying attention at his training class - and earlier having fun in our enclosure. #Orkney

I've just read this strange, fascinating novel: "A Voice Like Velvet" by Donald Henderson. First published in 1944 as "The Announcer", it's about a BBC announcer who is also a jewel thief. Ideal if you're interested in radio, the BBC & wartime Britain - and for listeners to @bbcentury.bsky.social

The sky seemed foreboding late this afternoon ahead of Storm Amy tomorrow. Time for @kathietouin.bsky.social to pick more tomatoes from our Polycrub before we batten the hatches. #Orkney

Domino and I ventured out to the East Mainland of #Orkney in yesterday's sunshine.

The Quoyloo Old School quiz returns for the new season on Friday! #Orkney
