Meeting George (Day 1422)

Last night's mission of great importance went remarkably well, and this morning the adventure continued.
The mission, which we chose to accept last night, was to collect George from the ferry in Kirkwall and take him through to Stromness where we will be looking after him. He has been on loan in Shetland for a while and his owner has decided he needs to come home to Orkney.
He is a lovely big peaceable soul, and though the plan was just to get him settled in this morning, my beautiful wife suggested we got out for a little ride.
It is a fair bit further to the ground when riding him, and he is a bit different to what I am used to, but the short ride today was a major confidence boost.
Adventures are sure to continue...
