We have ben visiting with family and enjoying our flat in Lerwick. Many narrow lanes
lead off Commercial Street. The lanes were used to transport goods to and from the harbour. Our flat is just a few steps up a narrow lane.

Yesterday, we had coffee with one set of cousins, a tour of the Mainland of Shetland and dinner with another group of cousins. We passed many sites that have been used in the Shetland TV series.

Daughter is getting to meet family members of different generations:my mother' cousins, their children and grandchildren. We hope to keep those family ties intact. Today, we will travel to Whalsay where my grandfather grew up. It's a very busy visit after my quiet time in France.

I've just spent the most pleasant 15 or 20 minutes browsing through all the posts you have written on this adventure. I hadn't realized you'd started a new blog, although I've enjoyed travelling in the Loire with you, then the brief peek at Euston Station, a tour of Edinburgh, and now a magical view of the Shetlands. . . Brava! So good to see that the pandemic hasn't aged all of us out of the possibility of solo travel. What a way to enter the 8th decade -- an inspiration! (that birthday is on my horizon, so I'm taking notes)
ReplyDeleteI was worried about solo travel a bit after 2 plus years of home time. Getting on and off trains can be a bit tricky with bags but it's worked well so far.
DeleteI just discovered this new blog of yours, and have added it to my Feedly. I look forward to reading back through your adventures in France that I followed on IG. We loved watching Shetland, and it's wonderful to see these photos of places we sort of recognize.
