Fiona and I took the ferry to Orkney for an overnight stay. We were taking a wee break away from the cottage after the work setting up the exhibition, opening night, artist talks and the student etching workshop. We knew that today, Wednesday, we would need to attach the etched plates to the sculptural post; and if possible do a temporary installation of the post before the students visited the exhibition on Thursday afternoon - but that is for a later blog post.
The photos are simply fragments - the one night and two day visit started with coffee and cake in the tea room at Birsay given we were up early to catch the early morning ferry there was no time for morning coffee. The first two photos are taken from the table in the tea room.
The weather on the first day was bleak; but fortunately you can see from the last few photos - day two had patches of sunshine.
We farewelled Orkney for now as we passed the Old Man of Hoy stack in fading sunlight.
We like Orkney for its art, food, history, ancient sights, a couple of good coffee places and quality shops.
