Had such a great weekend in Shetland: first time there, and definitely not the last!
Went for work, flew with a colleague and arrived in time to go to Jamieson & Smith for a bit of yarn shopping :

Got to meet E Gordon which was great as I have been following her blog for a long while now.
We attended the authenticity study day: such a thrill to be with like-minded people! Really thought provoking talks, which were streamed live. I had to relay the ensuing twits and emails to the speakers... an easy task thanks to Hootsuite!
Food was fabulous and definitely seafood-themed: scallops on Friday evening at the Queen's Hotel, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on sat for breakie, seafood chowder for lunch at the Museum on sat, monkfish in Lerwick Hotel on Sat eve. Dinner was with a nice bunch of people, food was super incredible - not least the Guinness chocolate pudding...
Sunday F and I took a walk round the Knabb, lovely crispy and cold morning. Found, eventually, a geocache 'the Venice of the North'
Flight home was 1/2 the time with the tail wind, and views from the plane were amazing.
All in all a brill weekend. Can't wait to take the family there!
