We can’t believe our good luck – incredible weather for Midsummer’s Day! A slightly later rehearsal this afternoon has afforded us longer in the sunshine, with many of us taking the opportunity to sight-see, cycle, mooch around the harbour, have a barbecue and generally soak up the rays.
Like Shetland, the main roads are in great condition – a joy to cycle on! Since we had two trucks for all of the percussion, there was room for us to sneak on some bikes, and, boy, were we glad of that today! It’s amazingly green here, with fields carpeted with beautiful wild flowers and grasses. Two of our violists, Katherine and David, were out and about this morning, with a particular mission in mind. When they came to Orkney for their first wedding anniversary, David bought Katherine a pair of earrings from Sheila Fleet Jewellery. Unfortunately, Katherine lost one of them, and so they cycled out today to visit the jewellers to see if they could make a replacement, which they can!
