A blog with a literary bent, curved enough to digress towards and encompass cycling, the natural world, language and interesting interactions. Tuesday, 21 April 2009. Off to the Shetlands. Just as the cabbages are pushing up, the onions shoots well above ground and only one more batch of potatoes to be planted. I'm off to the Shetlands. I'll also be visiting the Shetland Library's collection of local books in Lerwick, and I note that there is a Lerwick bookgroup. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
