My first crop of tomatoes! I've been tending to these tomatoes in the Loom Room for what feels like months, so its amazing to finally get some produce. The yellow, Sunburst tomatoes were particularly tasty, and were still warm 🍅⁠

Drumstick Primula in full bloom earlier in the year. After moving it outside it's not faired as well as I'd hoped! The Orkney weather tends to decimate a lot of plants, especially at this time of year. It can be gloriously sunny, and then the gale force winds can descend from nowhere! 🐚⁠

The ferns are out in force at Hobbister at the mom

The ferns are out in force at Hobbister at the moment! I've written a blog post all about the places I took my family when they came to stay. We had such a great week and explored lots of places that we'd not been before. We took everyone on long walks, ate home made cakes (including an amazing carrot cake from Hannah!) and had lots of late night, home cooked dinners. It was an amazing few weeks and I still feel like I'm in holiday mode! To read the latest blog post, click the link in my bio 🌿⁠

Dad, Floss and Nellie exploring Hobbister Nature R

Dad, Floss and Nellie exploring Hobbister Nature Reserve. One of my favourite places, this was one of the walks I really wanted to do with my family. The route takes you from the nature reserve, right up to the edge of the cliff (in some places it's really rather hairy!). The water is always so clear, you can make out the sea floor, kelp beds and even curious seals that come to check you out. The path winds through thick heather and bog cotton, down to a coastal path that takes you onto Waulkmill Bay 🦀⁠
