Today's weather forecast:

🌧️ Rain
🌧️ More rain
🌧️ Occasional premium rain
🌧️ Followed by luxury rain

Thankfully, pizza tastes just as good in the rain as it does in the sunshine, some might even argue better!

We'll let you be the judge of that... 🍕😉

🍕 Two ways to secure your pizza happiness...

📞 Takeaway? Give us a ring 01857 600 260
💻 Eating in? Book online https://59-degreesnorth.co.uk/cafe

Why? Because carrier pigeons are unreliable, smoke signals are hard to read in Orkney & telepathy still isn't working consistently. 😆

A quick call for takeaways and an online booking for tables helps us keep the pizzas flowing and the stress levels low.

Thanks everyone! ❤️

Good morning from Sanday! ☕🌥️

Today's weather report is brought to you by the colour grey. Grey sky, grey clouds, grey horizon... but there's one thing missing...

🌬️ The wind!

For once, the island hasn't set itself to "extra spin cycle." No hats flying into the next field, no doors trying to escape their hinges & your coffee might even stay in the cup!

We'll happily take a calm, overcast day over a horizontal-rain special any time! 😄

If you're out and about, pop in for a coffee, cake, or a wood-fired pizza later on. The view may be fifty shades of grey, but the welcome is as warm as ever. 🍕☕

🌾 Monday Morning on the Farming Calendar 🌾

While many of us are wondering where the weekend disappeared to, the farming calendar waits for nobody!

Across Sanday, June is a busy month. Silage fields are growing, lambs are getting bigger by the day, calves are finding their feet & farmers are keeping one eye on the weather forecast and the other on the grass.

It's one of the things we love about island life - the seasons aren't marked by what's on TV, but by what's happening in the fields around us.

So wherever your Monday takes you, take a moment to enjoy the view and appreciate the hard work happening behind those beautiful green fields.

And if you're passing by, we've got fresh coffee, homemade cakes, wood-fired pizzas & plenty of space in the Aire waiting for you.
☕🍰🍕

Happy Monday from all of us at 59° North! 💚

🍌 BREAKING NEWS FROM THE POLYCRUB 🍌

Are we growing the most northerly banana plant in the UK? Ours has decided that life in Sanday suits it just fine and is putting on quite a show in the polycrub!

This does raise an important question though…

If pineapple on pizza can divide families, start arguments and end friendships… where do we stand on BANANA on pizza? 🤔🍕

Surely banana on a pizza is even more controversial than pineapple?

We’re not saying we’re going to put it on the menu…

We’re just saying the ingredients are now growing suspiciously close to the pizza oven. 😅

What do you think — culinary masterpiece or crime against humanity?

👇 Let the debate begin!

🚨 TRIFFID ALERT! 🚨

We're becoming increasingly concerned that the New Zealand flax plants around Sanday have entered the next stage of their master plan...

Over the past week they've launched enormous flower spikes skywards, reaching heights that can only be described as "slightly alarming". 🌱👀

At first we thought they were just flowering, now we're not so sure!

If anyone notices them moving around after dark, communicating with each other, or developing a taste for pizza, please let us know immediately.

Until then, we'll continue to admire these spectacular giant blooms from a safe distance and pretend we're not living in the opening scenes of The Day of the Triffids.

Anyone else got flax plants attempting world domination this year? 🤣

🌊 Wednesday Wisdom from 59° North 🌊

Sometimes the best thing you can do is slow down.

Put the kettle on. Watch the clouds drift by. Listen to the waves. Take the scenic route. Stay for an extra coffee. Order the pizza.

Life moves at a different pace up here on Sanday & we're not in a hurry to change that. ❤️

Whether you're visiting us this summer or lucky enough to call this little island home, we hope your Wednesday includes a few moments to simply enjoy where you are.

📍59° North, Sanday
🍕 Wood-fired pizza
☕ Great coffee
🚐 Motorhome Aire
🌅 Plenty of room to breathe
