Hoy Sound

Ensconced in Hoy again. We didn't glide across today. Bounced; especially off the poinf of Graemsay. I wonder have I reached the time of life to read 'Yellow on the Broom? It is an ineffable and evocative piece of writing. Deceptive even. A good play too - Inverurie Town Hall years ago. I notice that YotB has risen to No2 on my pending pile, just below Tom Devine. Is it a book for people living in Wildwood?

Accompanies by a flotilla of gannets like white knives, cutting into Scapa Flow, barely leaving an air bubble.

Once we have walked from the pier you all know the drill. Stove on, kettle ditto, provisions stowed away. No TV, no radio. Just a hoose jam-packed with brilliance.
