The weather has been very changeable these last few days after a superb week of sun. Now its foggy and windy but that is what Shetland is all about.
The Eclipse has now come and gone, much like the weather on the day, just having three brief glimpses in between cloud
Had a trip to Fetlar in good weather, good to get reacquainted with the island, not a lot has changed and few people visited on the day. Perhaps another 6/7 cars of visitors.
We are now getting lots of visitors from down south and from Europe but not as many as usual as accommodation is fully booked with the restrictions due to covid. Did hear that all the ferry spaces have been booked up till early August, good job we booked in February
Filming has again been taking place around the islands for the BBC1 Shetland drama and others have been filming including Ben Fogel.
I have been surprised by the number of folk wanting to move to Shetland and a lot have never visited before. Housing prices have risen as a result and there is virtually no rented accommodation available
Although the Aurora season is now over until August you will be able to look through my new book `Shetland Aurora Hunter' The ultimate guide to understanding and photographing the Aurora in Shetland, which will be out in a couple of weeks. It looks at the Aurora in Shetland back to the 1700's, and is well illustrated throughout. More details soon.
