Well here I go. My wife and I are off to the Shetlands to live. We are going to move from sunny Luton and live in Lerwick (hopefully).

Why are we going? Was God sending us there? We have asked oursleves thses questions many times. A job came up and Julia applied for it and got an interview. Things fell into place and so it seemed like we were meant to go.

So Julia has a job to go to. We have somewhere to stay until March and we will arrive in Lerwick at 7am New Year's eve!!!!! So this is my attempt at a blog to record our preparations. It will also allow me to practice before we go. When we get there we can tell our families what is happening by keeping this up to date, as long as we get internet access.

If you live on the Shetlands, or have moved up there from England please let me know what you think of the place. Julia and I visited for 3 days for her interview, so we have had a very brief look. The second day it was so misty we could not see much. I drove around all day and did not see the wind farm until the last day when the weather was glorious.

That is all for now folks!!!
