Did you get to climb up inside the cathedral? The view from the top is fascinating, but the spaces inside look so different as youre climbing, they have all sorts of stones and archaelogical stuff on display on the way up, and you can see the windows closer too.

Mainland Orkney: Kirkwall as a home base
Kirkwall is the largest community in Orkney, and is located on the largest island, called Mainland. It makes a terrific base of operations. As with everything I'm writing about pertaining to this trip, I can't do it justice but I can offer glimpses. Here's a view of Kirkwall, with Saint Magnus C...
Goodness, you are bringing back all my memories of Kirkwall. I loved St Magnus - it's such a magnificent space for what, on the outside, is a fairly small cathedral. And the shops and streets of Kirkwall too...
I'm so glad you loved it so much.

Mainland Orkney, and the Boreray boys (plus a new dog note)
The travel notes continue. I'm skimming the surface, and still there is so much to say. . . . The next series of posts will be about mainland Orkney. (To allay some confusion: I was in mainland Scotland; also in Orkney, where the largest island is called Mainland; and then in Shetland, where the...
He looks a fine dog, and definitely not a Baxter. I hope he makes a splendid addition to your household, and Ceilidh enjoys many games and races with him.

New to us: one slightly used dog
As of about three hours ago: Ceilidh thinks he's okay. This is a pretty big deal. She is very "soft," but doesn't like to be pushed around. He can take a hint. (Jak, our foster, couldn't.) In fact, even when it's hard not to step on her or body-check her, he doesn't. We don't know what his n...
I do hope I actually get to meet you at some point this visit!

British Isles 2013?
___ I apologize in advance if I'm not very responsive right now. The hard drive (six months old) on my computer (4+ years old) died completely on Friday, which explains the computer's increasingly balky behavior. The drive is under warranty, but at the moment the computer is best suited for use a...
What a fabulous prize, especially the rotating cutting board - it would be desperately useful in my sewing place! I'd love to win it.

Winter Luxuries
Autumn is in the air! There's a crisp smell in the neighborhood and I feel like curling up with a cup of tea and a good book. I love autumn. Already Mr. Bonnet and I are scheming how to scare entertain the kids in the neighborhood on Halloween, and my thoughts are turning to pumpkin pie, hear...
