I'm skiving too! So instead of writing briefs about the last coble builder on the river Tay and preparing an interview structure for Nancy when she goes to meet him at his Stanley workshop tomorrow... let's talk about the wedding I had in Shetland on Friday. It was magic!!!
I'll put up some of my own photies tonight, but here are some I've pinched off the web. This is a picture of the village of Aith, on the west side of Shetland. It's not very big as you can see... but it does have a swimming pool - can you believe!!! The benefits of North Sea oil (money brought in by the oil terminal at Sullom Voe in the north of the islands).
This is a picture which I don't recognise. Mind you it was getting dark when we came out of the kirk. It is picturesque, though, as you can see. The hills in the background are the about standard for Shetland though. If you love trees then you won;t find any there (or very few... mostly dwarves.)
And this is one for Laura and Peter. I'm sure you've seen this before. I dare say when the cameras and tourists go away, the human skins come out on the racks!
Hope all's well wi ahbidy. I'll get some of my own pics up tonight.
Och aye the noo
Sam!
