There's been more weather than just named storms around here of late. Following Arwen, there was an anonymous blast of equal measure, and then we had the tail end of Barra. Mercifully, a planned work trip to Shetland did not coincide with any of these, but the North Atlantic still had an impressive (and nausea-inducing) swell during the return voyage.
A couple of days later, I happened to be on the north coast of West Mainland and, even then, the seas were on the wrong side of 'lumpy'. Phrases like "refreshing" and "blowing the cobwebs away" may have been deployed.
Don't worry, there were fortifying quantities of homemade cauliflower and broccoli soup available upon returning home.
Parsnip curry soup for me Graeme!
ReplyDeleteSoup is definitely on the list of 'Things to love about an Orkney Winter'.
DeleteBreathtaking photos, your mind hears and visualises the sea.
ReplyDeletePlanning another trip there at the end of the month, hoping for some more of that low Winter sun.
DeleteThat took my breath away just looking at the photos. All calm here at the moment although not for long I’m sure. Enjoy your soup. B x
ReplyDeleteAll calm here today too, dare we hope for some settled weather over the festive period?
