I mis-read my appointment time for a routine check-up at the Doctor’s so I had 40 minutes to waste. There was not enough time to go back home, and not enough time to go and do anything usefu…My Shetland
Everyone went out into the big hill field after breakfast.
Sheep, horses, ponies.

There was a weird eerie light this morning, when I went to fetch the buckets in to wash before putting them away. The “big” horses had let themselves out and looked very picturesque in …My Shetland

Pulling ragwort in the field. A job that has to be done.

It’s not all hugging ponies and sheep around here. Sometimes we have to do real work. And today it was pulling ragwort, a job I loathe because it hurts my back. I have been putting it off al…My Shetland

The flowers are beginning to die back now. There is definitely an autumnal feel.

Daisy and I went for a lovely walk with the dogs in Clothie – my separate five acre croft land that is a little way into the open hill grazing. Having climbed the hill, I sat on an old window…My Shetland

Eine helle Schmarotzerraubmöwe hatte ich bislang nur einmal vor Ewigkeiten in Island gesehen, und auch da nur als Pfeil am Himmel. Wunderschöner Vogel.

Aldi the chick the new star on #Hollydell croft, #Shetland
Stacey Rendall said she had heard on social media that people elsewhere had successfully hatched chicks from #supermarket #eggs and thought she would try it herself.
So she asked her aunt to buy her a packet of eggs from her local #Aldi in Hampshire and to send them north to Shetland – a journey of around 800 miles.

High costs and unreliable #deliveries for #parcels in Shetland, report finds
Consumer #Scotland has published a report into its findings in #Shetland, #Orkney and the #WesternIsles, saying #islanders faced “high #postal costs” and “inconsistent services”.
A #RoyalMail decision to move postal #flights to #Glasgow instead of #Aberdeen has often been cited as resulting in longer delivery times in Shetland.
