Hometimes

I returned to my island on Thursday morning, after a fairly bumpy boat trip up that left me relieved that I won't be doing it again for two weeks.

This weekend has been that of the Delting Up Helly Aa. It's often made out to tourists that the only Up Helly Aa festival is the Lerwick one, held on the last Tuesday of every January. There's actually a season of them from January (beginning with the Scalloway one) and ending in March (with the aforementioned Delting one). I went for the procession last night - although not the following revelry - and then the Hop night tonight (aka the afterparty).

As well as this, a trip to my gran's is in order.
