Let\u02bcs go to Shetland ! We drive to Calais to take the Shuttle. The journey is short, but no time to loose, I knit in the tunnel. Don\u02bct worry, it\u02bcs the first and last time I knit while sitting behind the wheel…<\/p>\n

From Folkestone, we drive all the way to Aberdeen, with a stop to spend the night near Grantham.
\nDriving on the left side of the road is easy on highway, not so much downtown. Although, we have to focus a lot, but it contributes to the change of scene ! I love these brick houses and perfect gardens and little hedges.<\/p>\n

We take the ferry in Aberdeen in Friday evening for a night voyage. There is already a SWW atmosphere going on : there is a high concentration of knitters and we see some Bousta beanies on heads.<\/p>\n

Some hours after arriving, we go to the hub : we collect our badges and the SWW team offers us a beautiful tote bag with the SWW 2017 logo on it. It\u02bcs a trend goodies to keep.
\nThere are many people but mostly native english speaker.<\/p>\n

On the planisphere, everybody indicates one’s first name and one’s country. There is a lot of people from USA, but also French, Scandinavian, Australian, and of course English.<\/p>\n

Our flat is in Lerwick center. The place is charming between Commercial street near the sea and the top of the town. Traffic is smooth, wind is strong, and actually there are some trees in sheltered corners.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, we have free time until the opening reception.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
