There was just time for a few Quendale Beach walks and a brief visit to Sumburgh Head before packing up the car and heading north to Lerwick before a smooth crossing south to Aberdeen and then onto the big roads south to Oxford.

In Oxford
The transition from Shetland life to the Oxford life is always a bit of a shock.
The roads are busy, the pavements are busy, the diary is busy and there are just so many trees.
There are, however, lots of parks, riverside walks and trees showing their autumn finery.
