"This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life. "โ€“ Ralph Waldo Emerson. Image Mirran Hall

"This week, for one week only, Stromness will be the centre of Orkney. Some local merchants think it should be the centre of the islands all the time."

The cruise ship "Hanseatic Spirit" arriving out of the gloom in . Too big for the harbour it has to sit at anchor and shuttle the passengers in to the town. Best avoid Stromness today!
