It's hard to believe, but it was a year ago today we lost Roscoe. Miss him every day. We put flowers on his grave with Domino looking on. I'd like to think Roscoe and Domino would have been friends, but I suspect Roscoe would have just found him annoying. Rest in peace, beautiful boy. ❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾

Can't believe it's been 15 years since we moved to Orkney! Best move I ever made. ❤️

Today is St Magnus Day, patron saint of #Orkney, and it's 15 years since @kathietouin.bsky.social and I moved here. We spent 13 of those years with Roscoe and the most recent five months with Domino ...

I did a thing today! I did the art workshop at Ingrid Grieve Toumal Art Studio and had the best time. Lovely folk and so much fun. The time flew by. Thanks, Ingrid! #orkney

Happy Equinox, everyone! And happy birthday to me. Domino woke us up this morning at 5:30am, nearly the time I was born all those years ago. So we went out and saw the most beautiful sky as the sun was coming up and the moon starting to set over the island of Hoy. Magical start to the day.

Domino had so much fun today! It's so good to see his confidence building. Though he still seems a bit baffled by the sea.

Graham Brown @grahambrownorkney.bsky.social · Mar 20

Domino enjoyed his afternoon run on the beach and splashing in the Atlantic. Bay of Skaill, #Orkney ...

Domino says it's a lovely day! And it's nice to see the gorse flowering. 🌼
