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

Saturday 19th
Wow wonderful. Woke up this morning to a winter wonderland. Snow is at last covering the land, not very much but it is still white. Gritters are very busy here and the roads seem fairly good considering. I think we may get more snow later judging by the skies. It is not quite covering everything and the odd blade of grass shows through. I cannot make snow balls or go toboganing. But it looks lovely. Off to Lerwick later.

Hi Neil - glad to hear you are setting in. Arrington at 8.15 yesterday was very snowy and pretty. Go to my photo web site http://mobile.me.gallery/philsharkey to see a pic.

ReplyDeleteGreat that things are setting a little (even the snow)I do not recognise the word GRITTER, is it an ancient Shetland word? whatever it is we do not get them down here.
