As I continue to settle in Shetland, a place I have loved since 1971, I have been keen to record some of the thoughts and activities of this major migration. It is amazing how the journey unfolds, ups and downs but well worth it. It is wonderful to be here. I would like to pay tribute to Stuart Haves who introduced me to these Islands in 1971. Mr Haves died aged 68 in April 2012

December 23rd
I spent this morning getting stuff ready for te services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I think I have got a new spin on the "The people who walked in a land of darkness" image from the prophet Isaiah. Any way I am pleased they are done anyway. I have also got a version of the "twelve days" just in case it seems the right thing to do.!!
A lot of the snow is now going though it is cold (around freezing anyway) I went for a lovely walk over bannamin Beach and down on the south end of Burra, always a favourite spot. Some of the scenery was still awsome and here are some pictures taken.
I did not take a picture of a wonderful black turkey which was wandering free at the South end on the grounds of decency. I don't suppoae he is long for this world bless him.

Neil, this all looks really fantastic. If you manage to keep the power on (Over lost power for 19 hours last Thursday!) you'll be ok!
