The sale completed of my new home in Scalloway on Thursday 18th January and after being snowed in for days, the big thaw commenced today and I was finally able to get the car out and arranged to pick the keys up from Alastair and Margaret and read the metres at 4pm. Can't believe I now own a property in Shetland, I'm so excited!
Its a two bedroom, one level property with a large living/dining room. There is a patio area at the back and two sheds. Its a really quirky place and I love it! Can't wait to get the bird feeders up!
Scalloway Harbour is at the bottom of the hill where Orca are sometimes seen. Several shops, GP surgery, chemist, restaurant, cafe, chinese take away, swimming pool, museum and a vets for when I get my cat!. Everything I need and only 5.6 miles from Lerwick for work!
I'm supposed to be moving in on Monday and Ian Reid said they would confirm this along with a time either today or Sunday – I have not heard from them yet. The weather is atrocious on Monday with gales and heavy rain, not ideal for transporting all your wordly goods!

ReplyDeleteOh Penny what a time you've had lately but so glad you are now in your Shetland home. I recognised it straight away! We stayed in your house for a month September/October 2021 and the birding was good there. The year before there was a Rosy Starling in the field behind. So congratulations on your lovely new home, and hope to bump into you again in Autumn. Best wishes, Pauline and Gordon
