To town today because it was Floss’ birthday. We went out for lunch and then did a spot of shopping (mostly food for supper, even though we felt very full).
Lerwick was deserted. The cruise ship season has finished now.
(though, there were a few boats in probably sheltering from the current strong winds).
Floss and I mooched around and checked the field at Jamieson’s Knitwear for stock levels.
When we eventually wended our way home, I went back outside to feed the ducks/hens their tea and get the sheep home for the night.
The ponies came careering up because I had shouted for the sheep. I could that they were in a very silly mood.
The sheep also came careering out of that field because they hate the ponies, which is not a bad thing because they do tend to dawdle if they possibly can.
Naw, Lambie – the King of dawdlers. He owns it.
And even Dahlia came home – because I had shouted that there was a fresh packet of ginger biccies waiting. She does love a biccie.
⬇️And then there are the “idiot children”, as they are currently known. ⬇️ (Tiddles was late to the party).

Lerwick is such a beautiful little town. The stone buildings just melt my heart. And being next to the water is definitely a plus. Hmmmm I wonder how much it would cost me to fly over from California, and take one of the cruises that stops in Lerwick. Just lovely.
Happy birthday Floss.
do it!
How delightful to see the little chaps playing so happily!
Happy Birthday Flossie!!
