Better later than never
Storm Brendan hit Shetland around lunch time on Monday 13 January with the worst of the weather arriving late Monday night.
Both the Lerwick - Aberdeen and all inter island ferries were cancelled and on Tuesday the North link ferry set off 2 hours late, at 9pm
For anyone living on an island winter weather can be very disruptive, no ferries mean no food arriving and going round Tesco's can be a very quick trip with empty shelves.
On Tuesday morning, we woke to find a wheelbarrow and a trampoline in the field in front on the house. Some people never learn.
I headed up to Eshaness around 10am on Monday just as the wind was picking up, the light was looking good with the sun coming out.
Passing the Drongs, the light shone down in shafts creating a nice orange over the rock sculptures. It was disappointing to find that at Dore Holm the sea was calm.
I headed up to Eshaness where the sea was getting rough and it continued to get better around lunch time just as I had to leave.
