Shetland Summer…
I managed to get home for a few days in August, which was lovely. I really appreciate how special a place Shetland is when I return, there really is no where like it. The open space and the sea. The pictures speak for themselves… Amy.x

The Bonhoga Open 2014
I had a great week home, it was so nice to be back! I had some weaving to finish so spent the first week driving up and down to Yell. I always forget how weird it is when you go back to Shetland after being away because everything is just exactly the same. Before IContinue reading “The Bonhoga Open 2014”
