Hi all - I am stuck here in Dunbeath at present, and there is yet another problem with the scooter which I wont bother to go into now, but I may just have to leave it here. We will have to see
Does anyone live on Orkney, or know of anyone who does. If I have to leave the scooter I may well be looking for someone who would perhaps drive me round to some of the interesting places and sights. I would pay of course, let me know if there is anyone you can think of :fc:

It's a shame you are not asking in a couple of months, we have bought a house in Orkney but havent completed yet.
I don't know anyone up there at the moment either. Everyone I have spoken to has been really friendly. It might be worth asking on the poultry keeper forum too, I was told when I joined that there were a few members from Orkney.
There are also lots of Orkney facebook pages that might be worth a try if you are on facebook. Orkney Merkitplace and Orkney Communities would be good places to try.
I hope you find someone!

If you're on Ravelry, JaneKAL has recently moved to Orkney and is establishing a flock of Boreray sheep. She's very busy at the moment with the Ravellinics so I wouldn't bother her until the Winter Olympics is over ;)
