Lots of News!

This week was a treasure trove of news from the U.K.

Yesterday, Hazel Tindall sent me news of a BBC Shetland radio programme. The connection only lasts for about another five days. I very much enjoyed listening--both to the content and just hearing those gentle Shetland accents. This will especially be of interest to those who are yarn dyers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radioscotland/news/rs_shetland_thu/

As I've mentioned before, 2013 has been named as the Year of Natural Scotland. Lots of information about Scotland in general from Visit Scotland (including those Fair Isle clothed Shetland ponies). http://www.visitscotland.com/about/nature-geography/year-of-natural-scotland/

Selvedge is both a quality magazine, but also a shop in London. I get many ideas for the British itineraries from the magazine.This week I received their newsletter:

Still keeping to British venues, but back to Scotland, the latest Visitor Newsletter from Promote Shetland. (And there are those famous Shetland ponies again.)
