The Glorious Twelfth | My Shetland

The Glorious Twelfth | My Shetland


When I was a child, I always thought “The Glorious Twelfth” was referring to my birthday.  It seemed obvious to me.

Apparently I was wrong, but I shall gloss over that because, for me and another friend, it is our birthdays and nothing to do with shooting little red grouse for fun (ugh – they can only be barely a mouthful on a fork).

So today, I celebrated another birthday with friends and family in their various forms via internet or real life.

Here is this year’s wonderful card from Daisy.

Presents included four feed boxes and a very long hose that winds up and they came gift wrapped too!  I laughed at my suprise when I opened the shed door.

These feed boxes will be perfect for when everyone has to come inside on those vile winter days – it means everyone can have their haynets safely eating from the floor.  No more lugging from one field to the stable.  They are heavy.

Along with a superb bottle of gin, tonic, even a fresh lemon and some cake, I am now set for another year!

So, Happy Birthday to me (and my friend, Alice) xx
