Kari og jeg kom i dag til den gamle norske kolonien . Vi skal bo en ukes tid i hovedstaden . Så langt er inntrykket at her bygges hus av stein og det er mange lange trange smug. Flagget er veldig likt det norske.

Da gerade drei große Kreuzfahrtschiffe in lagen, blieben wir nur kurz. Nicht jeder Laden freut sich über den Touri-Andrang.

Zuletzt noch ein kleiner Abstecher nach . Der Reiz des Örtchens erschließt sich nicht auf den ersten Blick. Der Blumentopf wäre ein nettes Souvenir gewesen, aber ich habe doch verzichtet 🙂

On Tuesday I popped into Tankerness House Gardens to see how they are continuing to develop. Always lovely at any time of year

The magnificent St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney, started in 1137 by the Norse Earl Rognvald to celebrate the sainthood of his uncle, Earl Magnus, who had been killed in 1117. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kir

Very productive meeting at Orkney Museum this morning, but couldn't stop myself popping into St Magnus Cathedral churchyard afterwards 😁

Today's poem:

When the Wind is in the East
- by James Howell

When the wind is in the east,
‘Tis neither good for man nor beast;
When the wind is in the north,
The skillful fisher goes not forth;
When the wind is in the south,
It blows the bait in the fishes’ mouth;
When the wind is in the west,
Then ’tis at the very best.

(on the harbour wall, Kirkwall)
