Today in #Orkney a vigil was held in silence to remember all those, Jews and Palestinians, who have been killed on and since 7 October 2023 and a Stagecoach bus driver drove past on the Town Service and repeatedly gestured with a thumbs down.

All the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey.
I've been for a walk,
our balls are cold today.
They'd be dry and warm
if they were in L.A.

#SaturdayMorning dreaming
on an #Orkney autumn day. 🍂

Halley Beach looking bonnie and calm. Today it had strange ripples on its surface, a flitting redshank on its shore, and the distant islands were illuminated with gold October sunlight. #Orkney

Brilliant research by Katie, a greatly deserved award. Her work also highlights the importance of wild species to people in the past which is often overlooked. #Archaeology #Orkney
