Ah no way, for how small and out the way the place is there’s a surprising number of folk with some link to up here! Would have been amazing to see it at that point before the tourism gentrification occurred.. a high street with shops for locals rather than jewellers and art prints (still lovely and quaint mind and lots of handmade loveliness, support local etc). Stromness is almost its own wee time capsule though and is quite a nice place to spend time. The view across to the hills on hoy from there is just stunning!
We got so lucky getting up here when we did, I’m not sure if post covid this land would have still been available, or affordable! Pretty much everything on the market went sold unseen in the last year..
Haha not quite counting chickens yet though, think it’s going to be a long slog until next spring or so before we’re in.. almost there though in the scheme of things..
@kl a long way from pals yet but hoping we’ll get there!
@fc haha thanks so much bud! Bitten off quite a lot this year but it’s coming together! Pink bar tape ordered by the way!
Not much difference from previous photos but cycled back to this after work today which never ceases to blow my mind! I think the blockwork on the workshop is next.

SUUUBBBED!
Our next door neighbours moved up to Orkney (Stromness) when I was a but a boy and we used to visit most years. Really loved it up there when I was younger, would love it even more so now. So much history as well. Absolutely need to get up for a skoosh around on the roadie n relive some memories!
I love people like yourself that go for it and get it done.
