In Orkney, we used to have an expression: "I'll be ower wi' the moon," meaning, "I will come and visit you when the moon is full, to light my way."

In The Orkneyology Podcast: Ower wi' the moon, Tom and Rhonda Muir of the Orkney Islands in Scotland talk to fascinating and creative folk, both living in Orkney and also farther afield, usually with an Orkney connection. We chat about folklore, storytelling, books, history, life in Orkney and whatever else we find inspiring. We do hope you'll join us for a good blether. Look for the Orkneyology Podcast again on the night of the next full moon.

You can find more about life in the Orkney Islands on Orkneyology.com, where Tom and Rhonda Muir explore Orkney life and history, books, travel tips, folklore and much more.
