- we get a nice view
- its relatively sheltered ( by Orkney standards)
- we can grow trees
But we realised there is a disadvantage. There is a hill to the south of us. And the sun disappeared behind it several weeks ago .
But today I noticed that the sun has come back into the house.
The house - at about 1400
And if I turn round and take another picture :
The sun hasn't been high enough in the sky to appear over the hill since the middle of December. I'm sure that the sun has been on the house for a few days, as the hill is a bit lower towards the west.
Another 20 minutes or so and there is bit more sun.
The sun probably came back a few days ago, but the weather has been so overcast that we didn't notice.
