On Saturday Baltasound played host to The Unst Show. Mostly live stock (best sheep, best cock, etc,) but also arts and crafts.Being the new art teacher in town Caroline had the weans in school make this totem pole. It represents the isle of Unst with a seal at the bottom and a puffin in the middle, that's our wildlife, and at the top, King Harald of Norway who landed here a wee while ago, giving his name to our neighbour town of Haroldswick.
It won "Most Amusing.
"And look-there's me acting like a fanny next to the one that got second place. Will post other winners later.
Caroline also won the pottery category with a wee clay polar bear beating her students to the finish line. Screw them! AND she won 1st prize in the portrait competition with this wonderful pic of Iggy Pop.
Okay, she was the only entrant but 1st prize is still first prize.
I won fuck all.
The rest of the day was in the beer tent getting drunk with teachers then dancing to fiddles and accordions at the village hall and getting drunk with teachers. What, teachers drink?!?
Oh and BTW, the horse next door isn't a colt at all. It's a stallion and it won BEST STALLION! As you can see he was over joyed.

Hey, my two first prizes won me the grand total of six pounds! The cost of entering only one pound fifty for three entries leaving four pounds fifty......plenty for the three pounds car wash the pupil council did today for their new pool cues.
