We were on
the way to to have a bird walk but managed to fit in
a stop at Baltasound Post Office to post a couple of cards – this is Britain’s
most northern post office and the post mistress will add a stamp to the letter
to say this! The post office doubles up as a small stationers and also has a
good range of knitted items for sale. These are all ( or mainly) in fair –isle pattern
and are knitted in Unst. I treated myself to a headband, but had the usual
dilemma about which colour ways would be most suitable. I took the ‘let it be
seen’ rather than a very toning ‘option’. I am posting a picture of me wearing
this later.
The rest of
the day was spent on a superb walk with the warden at Hermaness National Nature
Reserve where I took an amazing selection of photos several that I feel might
be inspiration or very special hand spun and natural dyed yarn.
Just look at
the colours and then there are the textures…..
