Here in Burravoe I have to say it isn’t that handy \u00a0because its so remote, \u00a0to get to our nearest\u00a0cinema \u00a0in Lerwick from here is a twenty\u00a0minuet ferry and a half a hour drive and\u00a0that’s\u00a0the same for our\u00a0Tesco\u00a0market and its quite small.<\/p>\n

<\/a> This is a photo of the ferry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>You won’t even guess how far our nearest McDonald’s is; it is 265 miles and its in Aberdeen! To get to Aberdeen is a thirteen hour ferry over night. Up here we don’t have any amusement parks or fairs but one time, \u00a0in roughly 2006, the circus came up and my mum, granny and I went to it.<\/p>\n

We live on an island which means we live by the sea. We have a small marina and \u00a0Bradley’s \u00a0(my brother) and my dad\u00a0owns\u00a0a \u00a0big \u00a0red wellboat called the Norholm which sits in sometimes.<\/p>\n

This is a photo of the Norholm<\/p>\n

Here we do lots of internet shopping because we don’t have the kind of shops like Next, Debenhams, M&S\u00a0so on.<\/div>\n
We have a\u00a0volunteer run community food shop. Kerry and Abby’s granny works in it. It is small.<\/div>\n
We have a community hall that we have our youth club in, there are lots of events\u00a0held in there too like weddings, birthdays, da tar barrel and more. Da tar barrel is an event that men including my dad\u00a0pulls\u00a0a burning barrel across the road from the school to the\u00a0Burravoe Hall and then we go inside the hall and I played my fiddle which is a violin\u00a0in Shetland\u00a0dialect which a lot of people from the whole of Shetland including me speak.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
