Happy Valley is a joy to visit at any time of the year, but always in May the bluebells are astounding.
This magical place is filled with bird song and trickling water where you can relax and just take in the sights and sounds.
As part of Scotland’s Year of Stories, Martin Laird made a series of films for Orkney News Ltd ‘Orcadian Stories’ . The episode ‘A Little Monkey Puzzle’ reveals more about the history and future of Happy Valley.
Lots of plants were taking advantage of the warmer air to spring into flower.

I was sorry not to see the Monkey Puzzle tree of the title. Or, perhaps, in Canada we use the name for a different tree?
There’s a picture of it in this one https://theorkneynews.scot/2019/04/16/something-about-stone-carving/
Ah, yes! Thank you. Same name; same tree.
