Thanks everyone for giving me some good ideas for keeping busy in Orkney when I visit this winter. Right now we are entering fall - what you Orcadians call "the back end" - and it's my favorite time of year. I'm originally from Massachusetts but ever since I was 17 I've been traveling all over the world. I've enjoyed fall in all sorts of places - middle east, Europe, Alaska, now back home again where we have pumpkins, bright fall leaves and fresh apple cider. What is an Orcadian fall like I wonder??? Rain and wind?? hehe! We've had insane rains here in New England due to all of the hurricanes. I just drove by one of our rivers and it had flooded into a huge field. You can't tell where the river ends and the field begins!
I would like to take some kind of dance classes this winter so I don't get fat sitting around inside being bored. What is this Scottish dancing I saw at the county show? It looked almost like Irish Step Dancing only more graceful and the arms of the dancers were not kept at the side. Are there adult beginner classes in this kind of dancing offered in Kirkwall or Stromness? What about horse riding lessons - this is another activity that'll keep me fit. Is there any place on West Mainland where I can get horse riding lessons? (I don't own a horse.) I'll be staying in lovely Dounby on the farm with my fiance so I have to stick with West mainland as much as possible. I hope ya'll don't mind so many questions!!
I've received some curious emails asking about the "Choza" in my name. It is Crow Indian for "White Horse of the Wind" !!! I'm of White and Crow Indian heratige.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!
Michelle
