Bonus day!

Low cloud quickly gave way to beautiful blue sky.


Hardly a breath of wind and more and more sunshine.


Visited Kirkwall for a spot of touristy shopping. Mum spent a lot in Judith Glue and I bought a miniature Highland Park 18 yo.


Lunch was tip top at Helgi's - excellent mackerel pate starter.


Back to Stromness to deposit bags and I left Mum and went for a quick photo visit to the Standing Stones of Stenness.


Still wall to wall sun so stopped at Ring of Brodgar for magical views.


Orkney was certainly at its best today.
