View from my office (and one view of my office!) .... not such a bad place to work, really, Somerville College! @somervillecollege.bsky.social

There haven't been too many sunny days to appreciate them this October, but today the trees in Somerville College @somervillecollege.bsky.social are looking lovely.

😂😂😂👏👏👏

It's a really magical place. Felt very comfortable there and loved the birds and scenery and being surrounded by water!

Have you ever wished that YOU could be the person who got to drive #BookyMcBookface around #Orkney, delivering books?

Well, YOU could be. 👇

Stones upon a sandy beach under blue skies

A bit of an off day due to grumbles and rumbles overnight. So here's a post of the northern beach on #Shapinsay #Orkney while I ease into the morning and hope my temperamental system starts cooperating! Have a wonderful Wednesday 😊

I thought I’d share this common carder bee on lesser knapweed for today’s Insect Thursday. I really love the vibrant colour of the knapweed.

What a treat to ride along with Booky! We were there this past summer and loved every moment ❤️

While visiting Orkney this summer with my partner Richard @richard013.bsky.social I was so excited to be on the Hoy ferry with the @orkneylibrary.bsky.social van which I think is called "Booky McBookface"! I love to follow Orkney Library on social media so to see this superstar was a real treat!

Lovely!

Thanks!

Thanks so much! The avocet did just walk into the reflection of a rainbow but I'll take it!

Cheers!

Oh thanks so much!
