Recent storms have brought some beautiful treasure to our beaches. I have turned them into some seaglass pendants and earings that are available to buy. Link in comments #Shetland
The cutest time of year #Shetland

It is the absolute best thing for Shetland winter weather with the bonus that i will float if I ever need to fish the kids out of the sea 😂

For seaglass earings I keep a jar of pieces that are the right size and then try and find pieces that are similar in shape. With a little help from Dave and Miles 😂
Fast moving snow in #Shetland today ❄️

There are some pieces of seaglass that I just have to make into a pendant as soon as I get home. This is one 💙 #Shetland
Got 2 loads dried and nothing blew away, definitely winning at life yesterday!
Definitely not a day for putting out favourite items or anything you don't want to have to retrieve from the neighbours garden 😂
Plenty sun with the wind yesterday but horribly rainy today ☹️
Today was a force 8 gales, or as we said in #Shetland 'a good drying day'
It's a storm pegs and prayers kinda day for the laundry #Shetland
Have added some make your own message in a bottle wish bottles to Etsy shop. Each includes a lucky groatie buckie shell #Shetland
The picture shows my hand holding three autumnal leaves against the light coming through the trees in the forest.

"Ordinarily, I go to the woods alone
...
I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds
or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my way of
praying, as you no doubt have yours."

LOVE THIS ❤️
The last one of the season is next Friday. There are lots between January and April and they usually take place on a particular day, like the Lerwick one is last Tuesday of January. This gives some details

Although this has the original audio I have just set my insta one to Arthur Brown and it fits perfectly 😂
In other random information, the times I have seen him live were amongst my favourite shows
Although you might have heard of Lerwick #Uphellyaa, did you know Shetland has many fire festivals to welcome the returning light and the promise of spring? Today was my local Up Helly Aa and it was an absolute joy #Shetland
