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

7th January
I have found heaven.... The Perrie Cafe has a wireless network!!! So now I can drink Coffee, eat soup and update blog while sitting in one of my favourite cafes.
I have now "signed on". what a process, but at least on Setland the faces are friendly when they interview you. I have also had my eyes tested, and discovwer that eye tests are free for us Scotlnders! I am about to get my hair cut.... I miss you Sarah! (Hopefully they will recognise past good labour) I have also finally sorted the council tax out too..
Quite a productive morning so far.
The weather is bright and cold, and I think the worst of the snow is now over.
No doubt many of you down south caught a glimpse of Shetland on the national news last night.... a car slid off the snowy road and killed the driver! I was on that stretch of raod yesterday and saw the fire engine racing to the scene. Needless to say it was not me.... and I am still alive.
If Neil reads this he may be interested to hear that Pottingers pineapple was playing in the Market Cross this morning when I walked through.
That is all for now
