We saw our first swallow of the year on the 21st April when crossing the Brig O’ Brodgar, then were pleased to see that when visitors to the Ring of Brodgar park in the car park, they’re shown that they can use the facilities in Stenness Village (Paddington Bear reference)

Crossing the boardwalk over the wetland approaching the Ring of Brodgar there are lots of Marsh Marigolds, making a splendid display

Walking the Ring, there was hardly anyone there. We met some folk, some with dogs, and had a chat and a tickle

In all my years of walking the Ring of Brodgar, I’d never noticed the face on this stone before

To the Orkney Brewery for lunch

Lovely food

…and a little bunch of hops in the window – very appropriate…

Then home for a nap!
