Today’s essay, with all manner of visual and auditory embellishments, came like a breath of fresh Orkney air. Having worked with wood a great part of my life, John Leslie’s creating the dinghy with deft strokes was entrancing. Mark Jenkins’ film capture of John’s expertise added so much. I was grateful for the English captions.

And you built your own canoe? Brava!

All the very best,

Gary
