Stromness - Day8

"Intentions, intentions, -good, but invariably broken. It was my intention to go to the Dounby Agricultural Show today, but the mist and drizzle pervading the land, definitely put me off and I headed instead to Julia’s for a restorative coffee.
In the town itself, it felt like a wet August Bank holiday, with lots of shops closed because of the show. Even the library where I was hoping to idle my life away was shut. There was nothing for it but to go with the flow and chill.

Eventually the weather took a turn for the better and I went for a walk round the upper reaches of the town, not quite finding the road I wanted but even the one I was on gave great views over the town and harbour.

Today is Ralph’s 11th birthday so he has pride of place in my collage Blip.
