the Shetland Times is THE place to find out what is going on. Its arrival on Friday is the highlight of my week and I read it from cover to cover....how very sad! Do you live in Whalsay the whole year round?

It's not sad at all! What else would you do with a new copy of da Times? (Old ones light the Raeburn, obviously).

I'm glad to see this works. Thanks for all your replies. I'm going to try posting two photos.I'm not very talented, that's the problem! Computing is not my strong point. I used to work with computers years ago when you had to take your sleeping bag and change all the reels in the machines which were kept ina clean room .You had to sleep in the computer room all through the night to get the answers and it was creepy. These machines were maybe a hundreth of the capability of today's personal computer. But I Ileft work before they invented emails and never could get the hang of modern software. No I'm not THAT old but folks, you don't have to be and that's the scary part.

We have to leave in winter to play in brass competitions. We come back for Jan/Feb when we have a lull. The camper-van has problems though because the wind gets to it and if it gets upto F8 we have to get up and turn it around in the night to face the wind. The house also gets perishingly cold. I'm told the previous occupant paid out 50 pounds a week in electric and that was 5 years ago. We're gradually improving the place with insulation in the walls but it'll take ages. So we go for the easy solution. back to Cinderford for the winter. We're hoping eventually that our fiddling will improve and we can join in with stuff up here in the winter. but at the moment it's too bad. I play when the lads turn up from the village at New Year etc and they suffer it courageously.
