The Jazz Viking!

After having a lovely time and an unexpected holiday in Fair Isle we finally made it off the island and via Glasgow Airport have bombed it back up the road to Oban to get on the 1800 ferry to Mull –ready in the nick of time for tonights performance at the An Tobar Arts Centre, Tobermory

Our last day and night in Fair Isle was great as Conrad and I visited Ex Skipper of the “Good Shepherd” Jimmy Stout and his wife Florie for the best Gin and Tonic ever (thanks to them!) and they confirmed that todays weather would mean a flight to Tingwall and beyond.

We also visited Liz,Tom and 6 year old Henry. This family have recently moved to Fair Isle from New York. Henry proudly showed off his fiddle and his three goldfish that he has been nurturing.

Lise also took me to see the beautiful stained glass windows in the church and then home for an amazing Indian meal all freshly cooked with not a sign of a Take away anywhere!!!

David and Gareth spent the day with Pat and Neil Thomson, looking at old family photos and getting into the pre Up Helly Aa spirit.

David had finally got at one with his Jazz Viking look!!

Off to Ullapool today........
