News from the north, today, centred around Our Lass's house hunting exploits across East and West Mainland.
She had set off this morning with a list of properties to view, on a route taking in Evie, to the north, and St Mary's, to the south.
The text message I received detailing progress wasn't full of the usual estate agent speak. Far from it.
I was expecting the report to be a little different (as many things in Orkney are, it's part of the charm), but I wasn't prepared for...
"I seen 5 long-tailed duck and 100 purple sandpiper."
That's my girl!
That would sell it for me.
ReplyDeleteYou're not wrong, Keith :o)
DeleteOh Dear - I fear you may be moving into "Dunlin Roamin" :o)
ReplyDeleteGroan! :o)
DeleteThe question is whether you are prepared to move into a prefabricated wooden bird-hide, or to a stone croft lacking a roof, both missing modern fittings and features. I fear the advanced scouting party may have become distracted and forgotten the main objectives !
ReplyDeleteMain objectives? LTD may have been on the list! However, rest assured, Our Lass isn't one for draughty hides or missing out on creature comforts.
