And no the Orkney Mainland is NOT regarded by the inhabitants as an island ;-)<br /><br />Louise - Shearer's isn't in the main shopping street so that's probably how you missed it. Next visit I shall direct you to it. I just love it!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-3046977285223359732010-11-25T03:32:24.403+00:002010-11-25T03:32:24.403+00:00How did I manage to miss Shearer's when I was ...How did I manage to miss Shearer's when I was in Kirkwall? It sounds divine. "Next time," she said! As for the pyjamas episode, it's enough to make you laugh when you're in that bah humbug mood.

Shearers looks like my favourite sort of shop, the kind where you go in for a tin-opener, say, and come out with half a dozen essentials that you didn't know you needed. Hand-mixed seed makes it very special indeed, though. And that dreadfully corny joke did make me laugh!<br />What do you think the lady in the supermarket would have said when she got home? Mutterings about that mad wee wifey from Graemsay in the cat's pyjamas...! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
