Yesterday I ticked off one of my three New Year’s Resolutions.
The first was to cook, prepare, etc, at least five new fish or seafoods that I had never prepared at home. I’m part-way there: I’ve made smoked scallops (turns out they’re not to my taste), tusk, stone crab claws, and fresh white & brown crabmeat.
The second was to swear less – still a work in progress, dammit.
The third was to have visited at least ten of the 70 Orkney Islands by the end of the year, and yesterday I accomplished that.
| The Mainland | South Ronaldsay |
| Birsay | Westray |
| Burray | Shapinsay |
| Lamb Holm | Hoy |
| Glimps Holm | South Walls |
That is just awesome! Are you going for another 10 islands?
Ha! Still TBD between now and year end. If anything, my new goal, now that I’m more confident driving on Orkney, is to see the Northern Lights. Last winter I was too scared to drive after dark.
