One for the FFF sign painters


I am thinking of you all...no, sadly I have not seen any otters yet......could this be the most photographed road sign on Shetland.

The extremely busy Sumburgh airport in the sun, yesterday 7pm.
This morning, over a plate of porridge in the B&B, I had an interesting conversation with a chap who works as an economic consultant. He had travelled from Glasgow to oil  rich Shetland to run workshops with key  agencies, which will explore the economic implications  of alternative energy sources with the aim of developing a viable strategy. As this  man also, two years ago,  cycled from  Land's end to John O'Groats, I felt slightly better about my vehicle choice when he  reassured me that considerable research indicated that flying to islands such as Shetland was less environmentally damaging than taking the ferry.

Is it a sign........



of a warmer, if nor drier Penwith? Well, no TP brownie points for me as not only will I not be able to help this week with FFF prep, but I have to confess that this blog was posted in Edinburgh airport,  where I had a 3hr wait for a connecting flight to the Shetland Isles, where I have been 'commuting' to several times over the last year, to work on a art project in Lerwick.
