Brilliant - 2 days in Unst! the recipe is as follows:
7 children -
4 of these children's names begins with 'J' so no one can remember anyone's name
2 children are older and responsible so we can relax while 5 children fight.
1 child enjoys making meals and cakes - even better! more relaxin!
The leisure centre is open for swimming and trampolining.
it is raining but no one cares
We always go to every shop in Unst and buy loads of terrific bargains. I bought gardening tools that I really do need, some hand towels in a colour not available in Mackay's shop in Lerwick, a mini ladle, ramekin dishes that I really do not need, sundae glasses in case I want an icecream sundae on Sunday, and a teapot Ruthodanort insisted on trying out before I paid for it. (It worked beautifully, and I was very grateful to her for being confident and assertive on my behalf)
We visited the chocolate factory too and bought some fab choccies - but I left them in Ruthodanort's car! what a great place to visit, we all loved it. There was an unfortunate mix up with my question about chocolate shapes (an innocent question) and what can be produced - however we established they can do commissions. (I was thinking children's parties, they were thinking hen and stag nights) still, interesting...
We emptied their shop of chocolate mice...
We visited the Final Checkout - the most northerely shop and cafe in Britain (not the world as I claimed) and got the most amazing smoked fish soup made on the premises - must be tasted to be believed - delicious. We got ours free cos we are nice people...
We also auditioned for a film being filmed in Unst and in Yell, so we may be famous one day. We'll come back and sign autographs anytime...

Scallowawife you are famous ( look I'm not shouting ) and how big was the chocolate shape that you enquired about. Those that say "size doen't count " usually have small chocolate shapes.

I heard the chocs turned up in Scallowawifes big plush car. Perhaps she should hire a chauffeur to keep an eye on all her purchases(!).
Muness from Fetlar
apologies all round. I have found the chocolates - in MY car - and I'm so sorry to have made so many people search houses are cars for them! I met Muness and Ruthodanort on saturday - she was getting her hair done - Muness - did you get yours done too? TWS size does matter - you don't want to over do it and feel sick do you? a little goes a long way. especially with chocolate. Dark is best and far healthier I believe. And you need much less of it. so there!
