Scubi you're not off for a few months are you? I can pretty much safely say I am going to take much of your wind and rain battering for you ;-)
I'm a bit miffed I can't blog the trip whilst I am there as I won't have a laptop or proper net access, but I'll likely send back some on site pics and things to my art facebook group from my phone (http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Nicki-MacRae/54822611086?ref=ts just in case anyone would like a pic a day of Orkney rain ;-) )
