JAStewart Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Maybe I'm just feeling lonely 'cause the girlfriend's gone back up and I winna see her until xmas, but... I usually miss Shetland when i'm at uni. I guess its joost because family's up there and what-not. Stuff like when its cold here, its cold, but in Shetland, when its cold, its time to light the fire! Sooth places just don't feel the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I do miss it, contrary to my evil twin with the same avatar! Oddly, i kinda miss the weather. Out here in Brisbane it's sweltering, but sometimes it's nice to expeience a cold, windy day. As long as your not out working in it, that is, which i hated.

squintpinkies Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 i seem to be missing it less and less the longer i stay away, it's usually after i've been back for a visit that i seem to run out of time to do everything i want and to catch up with everyone i leave behind.

shetlander Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Yes and no. The scenery, wildlife and peace and quiet on a fine summers day or night in Shetland is hard to beat and I miss the sense of community/belonging and the slow pace of life. Don't miss dark, dreich winter days and the associated feeling of isolation and remoteness, lack of choice, narrow minded attitudes and lack of get-up-and-go among some folk. Nothing wrong with being homesick JAS but remember, Shetland will always be there for you to go back to (in my experience, pretty much unchanged from when you left it) long after you're too old or have too many commitments to be able to see the rest of the world.
