Welcome to Lerwick

We do not do New Year's resolutions in this establishment; but at one point over the holidays Sue (who does not have a LiveJournal, but did accompany us to Shetland) asked me whether I had ever got round to sorting out the photographs I had taken there. I hadn't, of course; this tab is still open. The reminder sent me back to those photos, though. Many of them are now uploaded to Flickr (and many more to follow); there are puffins on my desktop; and while I am fighting back the urge to post all my favourite photos here, with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one - well, I'll try not to do that, but there will probably be the odd Shetland post.

There is a sign on the road into Lerwick, which reads:

Welcome to Lerwick
Leirvic - Old Norse - Muddy Creek

Truth in advertising is a fine thing, but this may be taking it too far.
