Fair Isle Postcard #40: An Unexpected Trip to Christmas in Shetland

[@colleenheffernan946]

What a marvellous video. I loved seeing Rachel's sheep and really enjoyed the parade in Lerwick. I'm a big fan of the BBC show Shetland and half expected to see Jimmy Perez or Tosh pushing a stroller. I have for years wanted to visit this amazing place...not sure if I'll ever make it but best wishes for the New Year to Rachel, her sheep and cats and to all the people of this special place. From Northern Canada

This post screams for warm woolly 'things' 😅. So nice to see the sheep and festive traditions from Shetland. So much joy! ❤ Happy New Year.

I have distant cousins who live in Bixter and Lerwick Shetland, so I was absolutely thrilled to see Rachel's Christmas postcard. Happy hogmanay from Melbourne Australia ❤❤

I always appreciate to see Rachel's postcards, even for a second time, it makes me so happy to see, Rachel, the sheep and this very special Island. I had never heard of Santa travelling by boat. 😉 It is so fun to see the Shetland parade.
