Down south

We are spending our second week in Shetland in the south of Mainland, the main island - very close to the 60° line. From our 1912 converted church we have moved to a new (it isn't on our OS map, based on a survey in the 1980s), light and airy house. We have a balcony, with a view down to the sea, but the view isn't as clear as it might be, because we are have a garden and are surrounded by trees. They are quite small trees, but this is still very strange.
We had time for a last visit to the Old Haa on our way to the ferry, then it was back to Mainland, and a circuitous route to Lerwick to allow us to lunch at the Cake Fridge Café in Aith. There was reestit mutton and tattie soup - and cake, course! Fig, Shetland honey and macadamia chocolate cake, in my case.
We provisioned at the Co-op in Lerwick, then made our way to our new home, and I had time for a short walk before cooking dinner, just down to the sea at Hoswick. Picture of the day is from Hoswick, though it's not a sea view:
