Entrepreneurship and Norwegian Visitors
Posted: Friday, 09 March 2007 |
In February, you may remember, a group of budding entrepreneurs from Shetland's North Isles went on a trip to Norway to discover how their small businesses can survive in rural areas. Now, completing the exchange, we have some Norwegian (and one Highlander) as our guests in the North Isles.
As I have been at work all week, I have not been able to take many photos of their visit, but they were in Fetlar on Thursday and Unst today. Today also included a visit to Baltasound Junior High School, where I work, so I managed a few photos at last.
I'll also post some photos of the Norway visit, which was an excellent trip and gave us a few good ideas to think about.

Kjaere Gud, Hyper is falling into a mire of Engliwegian!

Did you notice the duct tape along the boat hull, Hyper-B? Caveat, my dear chap.
mjc from NM,USA
Hi mjc, I think the duct tape is only holding the plastic sheeting on. More to the point, what about the cat's cradle of ropes holding it down. Do you think they get the same sort of winds that we get here and in Shetland?

what is the mush in the third picture??
carol from france
Oh dear, Carol, have you not been following the FC blog story about moose-hovering? Hover your moose above the piccies and all will be revealed.
Ruthodanortt from Unst
thanks ruthodanortt!! all is clear to me at last
carol from france
But not to me...did Hyper-B get it right? My blasted moose can hover for days to no avail. And the vole I caught the other day was no use either...
Flying Cat from all over the joint

Annie B from the usual
I thought it was a gigantic nipple...thank goodness for the commonsense of AnnieB....nasty thoughts of poor man's brains being sucked oot by a huge baby can now be banished!

carol from france
One metre and a half in length eh? Carol for goodness sake, I've had to give fpu a big dose of mogadon, she was getting that excited....
Flying Cat from infearandtrembling
Annie B, Anders hat is really great, and the best thing about it is that he made it himself. Viking boats and nipple hats, a truly gifted man.
Ruthodanort from Unst
fc: does fpu like grass snakes? strange woman
caroldiying with laughter from france
Errrrrm yes she does. Afpu kept a grass snake in the kitchen sink once. The Skye Serpentarium is a pretty cool place... Tho' I'm not sure that's what got her all hot and bothered before... Bipeds are wierd.
Flying Cat from a reptilian gaze
yor fpu is a braver woman than me,fc if i see a big worm in the garden i'm screaming,grass snakes sometime make me faint
