Another beautiful, calm night – just perfect for Linda and Christina’s surprise birthday party at the excellent Braewick Cafe. The view from Braewick, over to the Hillswick Drongs and beyond, was exquisite. It was a splendid night all told – great food, music, chat AND weather.
Magnus and Christina have made a great success of the Braewick Cafe, which is also a camping and caravan site, and they’re on the point of adding four wooden wigwams (very like Norwegian hutte) which look like being very popular.
I don’t know why, but I always seem to specially enjoy social events in Eshaness…and visitors love the place too, not just for the phenomenal scenery. A couple of camper vans-full of tourists were at Braewick last night and fully welcomed into party proceedings…what great tales of Shetland hospitality they’ll have to tell when they go back south.
