Given you a break

 Hope you missed us!. We have just been mighty busy and hadn't had time to take photos, let alone blog!

So what have we been up to?

We did get our guests, Lesley and Leo, a small aurora and a super clear night sky complete with shooting stars.

We had a nice day on Yell with Leo to cheer him up. It also, of course fitted in with a bird. A new species for Jill, if a tiny speck, a short toed lark. He has now gone to stay on Unst for his last few days. ( Not the lark, Leo!)

We are still busy with guests and are meeting some lovely people. We are also getting good feedback and still getting good reviews although we have our first one that isn't perfect as he didn't get a cooked breakfast. But we have to expect a few like that. It clearly states continental on booking.com.

The village had a centenary dance for the hall which was built 100 years ago- obviously.

Lots of locals we knew where involved so we offered to take some pictures to create an album.  Jill went along and had fun, and cake.

It was an early start this morning with breakfasts for our 3 guests. Then once that had gone the bathrooms got cleaned. Our New Zealand guest was moving off to Unst so one room got stripped and remade. It does take longer doing the kingsized room! That gave us a few hours off birding before our new guests from Michigan, arrived.

We headed South  for a whistle-stop watch, Sumburgh Hotel, Grutness and Hoswick. We did find a few bits. There was other stuff around but we didn't want to get blocked in anywhere so we couldn't get back!.

The sun came out this afternoon and it was a cracking evening.
