This series documents our first year in Shetland, attempting to repair and renovate an old house on half an acre of decorated land. We'll also be exploring the Shetland Islands when we get time.
We moved to Shetland from North Wales in January 2024. Each month we'll release a new video to show our progress and how we're adapting to this new life in the UK's most Northern islands.
The Shetland Islands are 60 degrees north, with a subarctic climate. The winds can be relentless and gardening can be exceptionally challenging, but that won't stop us from trying to create a wildlife haven!
In April we mostly focused on the garden and house, but we also explore Shetland's 'capital' Lerwick. Lerwick is an old harbour town, which an attractive high street, lots of craft shops and some excellent cafes. Visitors come from all over the world, often on cruise ships. April is still a fairly quiet month for exploring the town, and the weather can be beautiful.
We hope you enjoy the video!

Good wishes of happiness & success to you - I'm A Brit from London, now that I'm 84 I do not go anywhere much, but watching other people's adventures is very satisfying. I've done a lot of similar projects to yours over my long life, love fixing up houses, and making gardens, so I will be enjoying this from the US where I've been for 35+ years now. Used to holiday in North Wales over many years when my kids were young, & always loved a streak of the raw, old-fashioned life to make one aware of how hard things were at one time. It's very good for the soul ! Remind yourself of that when it seems too hard on occasion - we can always get a shot of civilization to keep us in balance - in the old days they had to endure the cold & raw life thru all their years ! I remember 'chilblains' when I was a kid in London - damp, drafts & coal fires was quite normal & 'chilblains' was the result in winter. Look it up if you are too young to know what they are ! Best of luck in your endeavors !

Enjoying from California your Shetland adventures. If you'd cut it short with a strimmer, then put in a pen around that garden area and kept chickens in it, you'd not have had any work left after a couple of weeks, and it would have been fertilized, to boot!

Hello.. I just watched your April chanel and then watched Jan Feb & March... This is quite an undertaking in a windy, almost barrem, beautiful place. Not sure why you moved here, whether you are keeping sheep, or just looking for a quieter life in the Shetlands. I wish you well in your new adventure, and will keep watching for the progress to come.

Nice video. That mower is a beast. I wouldn't want to fight with it. We have had so much rain that my garden is still delayed until it is dry enough to rototill it and get a few trailer loads of horse manure composte from a neighbor. Please pull all of the nails out of the boards that you have laying down. When Iwas a kid, I fell onto a board with a nail sticking out. when I got up, the board was nailed to my hip. My Dad had to pull it off of me. I don't want that to happen to any of you. Good Luck, Rick

That mower is okay for a cricket green, it is not designed for a rough old lawn like you got there.

Well, if you were trimming a football pitch or croquet court that mower would be perfect. You’re in for nothing but frustration with your garden though. A mower with 4, 6” wheels would be much more suited for your field cutting. Best of luck!
