A Shetland Winter

Always to get out for a walk during winter and the weather has been very kind to us in Shetland, just a bit of ice about but only a light covering of snow before Christmas. The weather has been a lot better than down in England

On this trip i was down at St Ninian's when the Budge family started to drive the sheep that had been on St Ninian's isle across the mile ling tombolo. The quads helped the three sheep dogs


Of course there is always one that doesn't want to go across and this one came to check me out

eventually it was caught and lifted onto the back of a quad before being taken up the Bigton farm

The beach is ever changing reclaiming bit but at the same time revealing its beauty




 

A local walk down to Sandsayre produced a rough sea and a double rainbow, always nice against a stormy sky


The covid cases are on the rise in Shetland with 36 recent cases, around the north and some in Lerwick. Still in level 3 as of today. Luckily we have lots of open spaces to go into

Wishing everyone a better New Year- stay safe
