    hi shazzy, nice to see you here and welcome to what is truly 'Gods Country'.
    There are a few not so good things about Caithness, including the wind !. Over more than half a century I can confirm that whenever you might want to do something outside, like painting house or car, putting up a tent etc etc, it will get windy.
    Do not despair though, its only windy on days with a 'd' in the spelling and it rains on the others.Windy or not, I would not be anywhere else.

    Wind what Wind? Welcome to the org, have lots of fun

    Welcome Shazzy.
    You will never get used to the wind.
    But I can tell you from experiance, when you move away you will miss it.
    It takes 40 men with their feet on the ground to keep one man with his head in the air.
