I’ve previously noted that I am not really a jewelry person – and so here is the only ring that I own. Although I rarely wear it, I love it: it is a Charles Rennie Mackintosh Ring by Shetland Jewellery. I bought it on June 1, 2013, paying £739.00. It had to be custom […] I sent myself this postcard from Baltasound – writing it while at the Baltasound Hotel Restaurant on May 30, 2013. This is the best smelling restaurant I’ve been in in years – O.M.G. The first day in the Shetland Islands – Unst – Many Shetland Ponies seen. Lots of sheep/lambs. Amazing scenery – plus […] This copy of i’i shetland is from my visit to the Shetland Islands in 2013. i’i shetland is a magazine clearly aimed at locals – more so than any other magazine of this ilk that I’ve ever had the pleasure to read. The reason I kept the magazine was the “celebrations parties” section at […] I have no idea what this is, exactly. It seems to be a small square pillow with a hanging hook. It might actually be a pin cushion. The tag, which I have never bothered to remove, says: Hand made from recycled knitwear By Robyn Robertson, Eshaness, Shetland Felt: 100% Pure […] Back in 2013, I went to the Shetland Islands, which was one of my top vacations of all time. From visiting the northern most point of the United Kingdom (Baltasound), where I ate some of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. Later, I slept in a lighthouse (Eshaness). Overall, I generally had an amazing […] Yesterday I decided to go out for an adventure in Berlin. With temperatures the coldest all year – around -12° – and plans for a long walk around Berlin, I bundled up. Out came the long underwear (wool, even!), winter jacket, hat, gloves, and warm shoes. I went all out – my scarf trailing behind […] This is the Atlantic Ocean, as seen just northwest of the community of Brae. Isn’t it pretty! When planning the trip, we sort of expected to be bored – to have time to stay in our lighthouse and read books – relaxing, if you will. And while we did some of that, we actually […] The Eshaness Lighthouse was my home for four nights. Next time I’ll make it a week. Back when we started planning our trip to the Shetland Islands in earnest last summer, the Shetland Islands was not really on our radar – until I picked up the Lonely Planet book for Scotland and read that […] We stopped in Mid Yell for the obvious photo. Traveling south from Unst to the “mainland” (the Shetland Island’s largest island), one crosses Yell, and past “Mid-Yell” – a shameless photo-opt ensued. This was one of the narrower roads that we drove on — not the narrowest. Every so often there were passing […] Welcome to Unst Now that I’ve left the Shetland Islands, I have better Internet access, although, honestly, it was fine at our first port-of-call, Baltasound. I was just too busy to take the time to write anything – other than postcards. Baltasound is a community on the island of Unst, the northern most occupied […] |
