Shetland 2013..........!

[Farmer Palmer]

The council clowns made him move the barge, I would have stayed put, Billy o' Gonfirth put that there in 1998 to grade mussels. I lived 1/2 mile up the Eid road passed the Pierhead.

The barge was slowly sinking aswell as the floats were full of holes..........Voe won't look the same without it!

Clive Mouat the welder is now the custodian of the Sail loft bod after Denise the cook from the Pierhead and before that Keith from the mussel farm.......Hope they still do some 'canny bait' in the Pierhead!

Another character is the Yorkshireman with the sealskin hat who owns the Honestas 1960's fishing boat with the sails.......It used to work out of Eyemouth and was named after the 'honest toun' of Musselburgh.

Bruce Wilcox (Mr. Happy) the blacksmith. He made a 25 ft. sailing fishing boat out of old wood salmon cages. He is a very clever craftsman, but never smiles.

Ask him about his visit to the Houses of parliament.........He wore his clogs and then tore into the 'guide' about the screws on one of the doors that had been rehung and not being 'clocked'...........I really enjoy having a long chat with Bruce but i'd just forgotten his name!

I had another good time with the farmer at Federland aswell after not letting me park my GS in his yard before 'walking' all the way up to the old Ferderland fishing station to being given the keys and asked in for tea when he found out I was a farmer!
