I had a day out in town today. A scheduled eye check-up first and then I wandered about just enjoying time away from my usual home routine. I did a spot of shopping…. And I even bought myself some new shoes. I am very pleased with them and the first thing I noticed was just […]

Dash To Town | My Shetland
Snow is forecast all week. Forecasts say it will go on Sunday but I am taking no chances. So, leaving my little preciousness behind (she was so upset), I drove to Lerwick in my van for supplies. The snow had already arrived first thing, when we fed everyone, but luckily the roads were clear and […]

Town Full | My Shetland
Floss and I drove to town this morning as we felt we deserved some lovely things after our strenuous fence building yesterday. I always like a good excuse. It was a lovely sunny day and we strolled down Commercial Street enjoying the sights. The place was brimming with people. And this caught my attention – […]
Town v. Home | My Shetland
Floss and I finished our pony/duck/chicken/horse/dog chores and, as a reward, I drove Floss to town and we went on a shopping spree buying lovely things for Flossie (though I gave myself a new frying pan and two cat litter trays to use as duckling swimming-pools). There was a cruise-ship in, so the town was […]
Town for Supplies | My Shetland
Floss and I got up half an hour early (it is getting lighter now in the mornings) as we had lots to do. Everyone fed, and we drove into Lerwick to get supplies, and for me to see the dentist – a routine appointment. After a very nice lunch – our reward for the dentist […]
