Up here it's been a fabulous summer, and continues to be so. We've had
several barbecues already, and we've had temperatures in the low 20s C
on a number of occasions.

After the previous two summers, I was beginning to wonder if the fabled
description of the Orkney climate as "nine months of winter and three
months of bad weather" might not be a joke after all. But I guess this
summer is probably exceptional, so we're making the most of it!
