Orkney visit


Hi, the advance party from Orkney has returned. I havn't been to all of the places that we will visit but the few that I have seen were brilliant. Saint Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall is really big , the walls are lined with headstones(mostley written in Latin) and the stained glass windows are competing with them.
The Italian chapel doesn't look much from the outside but it is pretty good because the main painting was done from a postcard.
Skara Brae, I don't need to say anything about theat although you aren't actuallly allowed to walk through the houses themselves(in the interests of preserving the 5, 000 year old village) They have a really good replica housefor you to go in and look at.
There are many more and I'll leave you to see them fot yourselves. (you'll want to look scapa flow if we pass it!)
