This is the bantam hen that lives in Yorkshire Steve's garden, two doors away. She has given us a dozen eggs so far. Gorgeous!It's a right wee green co-op aroon here.
Between them our neighbours Steve, Sarah, Boagsy and Will&Jackie have so far given us 6 cod, 1 mackerel, 2 crabs, 12 eggs, mixed lettuce leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, a handful of physalis and a bag Ness Kidney potatoes (indiginous to Shetland.) And all locally grown and caught by their own hand. (Well, except the eggs, that was by the chickens arse.) And if you throw in the rhubarb from our own garden, our home made bread and all the local produce we buy like butter, milk, lamb, beef, smoked garlic, ice cream and lemon curd, well, Hugh Fernley-Whitshisface would be gushing all over the place.
AND we have a brewery in the village! The Valhalla Brewery. Six different beers and all great!
AND Harlodswick up the road has a chocolate factory! Yes. Foords Chocolates.
If this island ever did wine, coffee and bananas we widny have to EVER leave.
No cheese produced in Shetland though. Weird. Well, it looks like I know what business I'm going into when the showbiz career goes belly up. CHEESE! CHEESE I TELLS YA!
