Unkens
Posted: Thursday, 26 June 2008 |
I am always impressed at the folk who have time for blogging here. I mean to do more and often write the blog in my head as I walk the dogs, but that is where it stays. Therefore blogging unkens from this part of Yell remains unblogged!
June always brings our friends from the South - summer dim is a great attraction. This year there seems fewer birds around to watch and yesterday we saw that 'our' rain geese had abandoned their nest and we had so hoped the hatching would happen - as the parents had nursed the nest so well. We suspect it was washed out in some of the really heavy rain we have been having.
When friends visit it gives great excuse to become tourists in Shetland as well.
What a lovely time we had. The new Museum in Lerwick is so good and the bairns just love everything there too. We travelled, marvelled at the sights and views, laughed with everyone we met whilst sharing lots of unkens and furthermore ate well all through Mainland, Yell and Unst. Think on about who we have still to meet and where to go!
This might sound like a peerie come on in from some tourist site - but honestly, you can't beat being home, with friends on a visit, to have a holiday!!
And home is Shetland - and don't we all just love it!

Bonxie Dance

Today's warm weather means the day has been spent doing the vast amount of grass cutting around the outside of the house.
These bonxies dance around over the beach and way beyond these days - so as Carole (amongst others) mentioned pictures, hope this is a start?
