Westray is different

shewhomustAnother day, another island. I interrupt this tidy narrative of our adventures on Mainland to report that we are now on Westray, with DIY wifi: our cottage's wifi is currently out of order because something to do with BT, who may possibly reinstate it on Friday (we leave early on Saturday). Luckily, durham_rambler loves a challenge, and has whipped up a wifi hotspot tethered to his mobile phone.
We left a bright if slightly hazy Mainland on the Varagen and sailed into the haar, the sea mist which reduced the islands to indistinct shapes traced on the surface of the sea, and docked at the south end of Westray lost in the mist. The road runs up the spine of the island to Pierowall village. On either side there's a low drystone wall, the light grey stone bright in the sunlight; then a lush green field dotted with dandelions; a blanket of cotton wool hovered just above the grass - you can tell the sea isn't far away.
Time for bed; we'll see what tomorrow brings.
