Oh completely! Haha I’m still waiting for some angry farmer to tell me to get out their field or something, never mind the fact that we drew pictures of a house a few years ago and people are actually making it a thing now.
Yeah it’s beautiful up this way isn’t it?! And I’ve become absolutely fascinated by all the seabirds and things around here. I’d always thought of it as just some barren rocks in the middle of the North Sea but it’s so much more than I expected! My partner came up to do STEM outreach here for science week a few years ago and came back in love with the place. Took us about a year and a half of visiting and checking out possible properties before finding this spot. Outer isles are so much cheaper than the Orkney mainland.
Some more of the blockwork went up yesterday and beginning to get a proper feel of room size and things.

Totally. Just realised I've actually been to Shapinsay, just to look at the castle etc (a nice Polish guy showed us around, slightly dissapointing as I was hoping for a mad baron in a kilt) plus I think I did an oil change on the boat in the harbour there before we went back to Norway. Anyway, keep us posted as this progresses!

Whohoo, must feel great and maybe slightly surreal after all that planning?
Sailed to Orkney/fair isle/Shetland a couple of times, the landscape/nature/people are amazing IMO.
