Then we went to the Walls church hall for lunch
Where I bought a dog walking hat
Later in the evening Catherine and Finlay entertained us and a few of David's relations with a cup of tea (and other refreshments) in front of a peat fire.
This morning's breakfast was sasser maet with our bannocks and beans

The end of our time here in Shetland, we sail to Aberdeen tonight. I can't thank our wonderful hosts enough, they have housed us, fed us, supplied us with drink, driven us all over the islands, found relations for me and generally made our holiday superb. I nearly lapsed into dialect and replaced each us with a wis! There have been times when we needed an interpreter.
