A Few Pics
Posted: Friday, 20 July 2007 |
Here are a peedie drop pics, just a few as I`m waiting for a couple more o` me friends to return frae various travels and let me hae the pics they took wi` their vastly superior tae mine digicams.....
so here`s one o` the feast room afore the table was laid, o` the fire wi` the lights off, and o` a couple o` very dear friends, aka the Celtic Contigent, fierce wi` their warpaint and plaid and sharp and lethal weapons, fitted right intae me livingroom, they did *grin*, oh aye, and one o` the maimed car, luckily it was one o` oor ain so nae real harm done, right daft place tae park it in my opinion, right ahind the archery target! Wasnae my fault I overshot.....
When I get the other pictures, there are plenty o` the spread afore we a` tucked in etc, and I hae stories tae tell o` it tae, but since the computor is still playing up as is, apparently, the Island Blogging website (which appears tae hae `technical difficulties`, I hope they`re no` serious) I will leave it for noo.....
hoping a` body is haein a grand summer, and no` horribly flooded like doon sooth...I hate tae mention the glorious sunny day we`ve had here...(edited to add couple mair pics, one of the wonderful Celtic leaf blade sword I was gifted, couple mair o` some o` the food, the meat platter, roasted hens, ducks, pig and wild Orkney hare, and the flummery, medieval alcholic custard)
(edited again! To add some recipe details...the ducks were stuffed wi` chopped onions and apple smothered in the Great Spice, the pig was smeared wi` best butter and had thyme and parsley crushed intae the skin o` it, what else? oh aye, I made hame made breid, and one o` me guests made a fantastic beer breid! It went just grand wi` the Orkney cheeses...oh aye and me lassie mak`s the maist delicious version o` Baileys herself, gorgeous it was, and I had a three year auld bottle o` hame made rhubarb wine, stronger than it sounds.....)
and edited yet again to show some archery practice, me friend in black shooting the bow, me at the back, and the other pic of how we got our tasty lunch, har har...

The things people are up to in Orkney!! # Invite me next year, Hermit, and I'll bring my shogun (ooops! I meant, my shotgun). All you'd need to do, AFTER the eating and drinking, is to point at the car of your choice, and I shall let my shogun (I mean, shotgun) loose. The windshield could be taken care of in no time. Is the car being driven around the islands with that stray arrow stuck in its body?

Brilliant, Hermit. Your room looks really great, worth all the effort you put into it. The injured car is a good photo! Like the Bayeux Tapestry with King Harold and the arrow.
Jill from EK
Why is the meaty picture so very SMALL? I have to peer at the screen (which isn't very big anyway) to try for the full eyeful! Your baronial hall d茅cor is pure dead brilliant, Hermit.

Hermit from Sanday
Email me and tell me more. I think my ancestry might be from Sanday Islands. I'm coming over to Scotland soon.
Ramona Orr from Vancouver Canada
Ramona, if ye meant me, I cannae email ye for there is nae email address on your comment. I think it might be ok tae send it tae Anne at IBHQ tae pass it on, and she might be obliging enough tae dae so. :-)

CLONTARF! yes the "celtic Contingent" had a wonderful time, it was an amazing night. The banqueting hall was wonderful, I can't believe the effect Hermit created; the food was incredible, really wonderful and we're still talking about the 91热爆made Baileys. I was lucky enough to escape with a bottle - but was mugged in Kildare and Himself's lot took it and wouldn't let it go. Tell your lovely daughter it was voted an amazing hit!
