Took a last look at the babes before heading off for our trip, they have grown loads. As I told you on the other blog, the nest is in the slurry pit at the back of the byre. We have now taken off some of the concrete slabs and floated a piece of ply on the slurry so with luck and a following wind they should make it out some time soon.

We are off on the boat tonight and will be driving down to Rye on the south coast of England. We'll stop for the weekend with friends in Derbyshire.

Should be back up in Shetland on the 7th. So ttfn

Hooray, I've made it back! Thanks for all your help, Lizzie, the kiwi guy and especially Fiona for pointing the way.

... so anyway, what weather we are having here in sunny Shetland, it was actually hailing last night (no really) and I was curled up with a cat on a blanket watching 'Lewis' for all the world as if it were winter.

Finished off a pile of brooches - 'fairisle tarts' to take into Fiona at 'Muggie's' this afternoon,http://www.designedinshetland.co.uk/



Our bunnies have been on her web shop for a while but this is the first time they have gone into the shop and the 'tarts' are new, I made some for the Shetland College design student's fund -raiser and thought they were rather sweet; I made one as a hair slide for Lizzie to wear at her graduation ball. looking forward to putting up a picture of that.
Really looking forward to the Shetland college Degree show next month, can't believe that was me last year, the best and most rewarding three years of my life.
