From Bixter - an unusual small village on the main road being a small group of houses belonging to Hjaltland Housing Association & the Shetland Islands Council. Despite its small size its road junction location makes it a focal point for the surrounding dispersed settlements and boasts a shop, health centre, vet and garage. My heathery plod on a stop off on the drive back from work in Walls to Burra coincided with the arrival of the school coach from Lerwick which dispersed mask wearing pupils into 4 waiting smaller feeder buses serving the outlying communities. In Bixter Voe to the E is a double rock that at high tide sticks above the waves and looks just like an Orca's body and fin - I stopped my car the first time I saw it -and still do a double take every time I pass! A month from now a crime is going to be committed (and solved?)at the house at Sembister seen across the loch -as its the planned venue for an episode of the crime drama -Shetland.Chris Pearson09/03/2021
