6 months went quickly! I'm planning to make a wee movie to show everyone what it was like but might just have to wait till I'm next on nights to do it!!!
We had an amazing time and it was a great experience. To summarise briefly:
GOOD THINGS:
New friends
Awesome accent
Nice job: small hospital and great work colleagues
Scenery
Living by the sea
Awesome lighthouse view especially at night
Seals on the way to the shops!
The weather - wasn't that bad! Certainly warmer than the mainland winter!
Seafood! Especially the massive fish suppers from the mosre than Happy Haddock
Lamb!
Up Helly Aa
BAD THINGS:
The dark... at it's worst it was getting dark at 2pm
Accommodation wasn't the best... had to share and it smelled of curry most of the time
Shetland Ales... we came to the conclusion they tasted like wet ashtray!
The constant wind there is
A job one for me... but the way folk used A+E as a drop in GP practice, and also the way folk abused the NHS from other countries for free health care... but hey! That happens everywhere in this country. No point in taking out medical insurance in the UK if you're a foreigner if you ask me (speaking as a mother!)
More to come!
