Sitting here at home, looking out at the rain, I can't believe how lucky we were with the weather in Norway and Shetland. Apart from the first day and a half at sea when it was wet most of the time, we have hardly seen a cloud let alone a spot of rain. The temperature has been more Mediterranean than Scandinavian and we needed sun tan lotion everyday.
The downside, if you can call it that, is we have been up and about taking in the wonderful scenery from dusk till dawn. As that means about 18hrs a day we are all knackered and need a relaxing holiday. Rosemary Fitbit shows she has walked 32 miles and mine shows average of 12,400 steps per day for the last 10 days.
I have until it stops raining to tweak this blog and make an album from the 430 photos so I don't forget our 50th wedding anniversary. Now there is grass to mow and hedge to cut when the sun comes out again. At least that will help shift the pounds we have put on from all the excellent food and wine we have enjoyed.
Big thank you to Mark and Katie and Christina for organising the golden bunting and attire for our big day and contributing to a memorable holiday.
