Happy Birthday dear sir, and I hope you get to the Shetlands at some time, it is truly a wonderous place, filled with all types of strang and curious people, with accents stranger than mine.
Thanks Dave - I aim to head back to Scotland and Ireland next year for at least six weeks, and the Orkneys and Shetlands are definately on my list...
