Shetland
Mississ Pekingmans' sister is from Shetland and is staying with us at the moment. I've been to Shetland twice. Why do people live there?
Do not despise the snake for having no horns, for who is to say it will not become a dragon. And so, may one just man become an army.

Inbreeding.

True - if her dad marries his current woman he becomes Uncle dad. Don't ask.

Sounds nice, but you would be an alcoholic or barking mad/ both after 6-months.

I'd happily live there or the Hebrides etc. Fishing and living off the land, clean fresh air, wild weather and open spaces. Bliss.
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

Re: Shetland
If it wasn't for the fact I'd have to get up at 4am to go to work, I'd love to live in the middle of nowhere in the Dales.
Didn't one of the guys from 7/14/21 etc Up end up in the Shetlands? Great programme that, but sad at times.

All over this town, they pull over in their Citroen vans, not to shake your hand
With meths on their breaths and you with youth on your side...

Yeah, well I can see the parallels with Halton Moor - miles from anywhere. Thing is, what would 'one' do once 'one' got banned from the only bar?

Re: Shetland
All those folk who say I'd be up there in a shot, would be best visiting the place first. In early January. If you can get in there in he first place. Or even afford it.
