A long way from anywhere
The stormy weather south seems to have brought the country to a standstill, but as someone said up here - “the last time it blew a force 11 here a chicken coop blew over”. I guess all things are relative, i doubt Orkney would cope too well with a huge heatwave, although we would undoubtedly enjoy it to the full. So a bit of wind and rain and sleet and snow really dont do a lot here. The other thing is sometimes we seem to be a long way from anywhere, especially so when the ferries stop running due to the bad weather, but that is usually only for 24 hours or so. Suddenly you have to check things for “postage rates for uk mainland only”.
I have decided that somewhere deep in the ancestral roots of Suffolk sheep someone sneaked a pig in there. They strike me as being petulant 5 year olds, greedy, uncaring and downright selfish. They really dont care who or what they have to climb over, as long as they get food, the most food, and before everyone else.
