Septic Peg strikes again
Posted: Monday, 03 November 2008 |
Septic Peg the Fortune Teller made her annual return to the North Isles of Shetland to read palms and see if the mists cleared on her crystal ball. She had a trip to Fetlar School with the Wicked Witch o da Nort, along with Primary 6 and 7 from Unst.
Fetlar Primary were marvellous hosts, and Peg did her best to fortell happy futures for the bairns.
In the evening she held court in Baltasound, and was visited by lots o the local bairns, who had clearly spent a lot of time and energy in creating their costumes.
You may find pictures of the bairns costumes on their school web pages,
As we had the kids with us we had to use conventional transport. The Witch drove, as Peg's mind was, as always, busy with important matters. (Like taking pictures with her mobile.)
Yes, it does look like she's not driving very carefully here, but relax, we were on the Bluemull ferry at this point.

Was there anyone else on the ferry at the time? You must have given them a bit of a fright. Especially the driver. How did the Witch get her money out to pay? Or were they too frightened to ask for money?

Wonder whether anyone would flag you if you were to start a taxi service?

Hello Beth: did you have a chance to share some of happiness of Divali with your Indian friends? Any dance or high jinks or pumpkin pie etc. with friends at school for Halloween? Work hard and enjoy the experience.

Hey mjc! Weel yeah we did actually do a lot for Diwali- we had good food in the caf, dandia (form of dance with sticks) and everyone dressed up in their indian gear. For halloween the american students organised a party in the social centre. That was good fun but I'm afraid it didn't really compare to what I would have got at home...

Meaow! that witch is scary, but what magnificent claws!

A fairly magnificent witch, I should say!
Bewitched from ANOTHER admiring glance
Although to be fair, Septic Peg is quite scary in her own rather stunning way. I can't believe someone actually managed to carve that pumpkin so intricately. That was a wonderful cultural mix Beth'odaAest!

Ruth, as Iblogging will be no more, I would like to wish all sorts of people the very best. My thoughts, however, go to the young ones most particularly. In this particular case, I would like you to convey my very best for a wonderfully exciting life to your daughter Beth, whose studies in India are an excellent beginning. Beth, may your end of the year curry and nan bread be delicious.
