  2. Back in the day, I found myself on and around the Shetland Islands

    Lerwick was basically a large fishing and offshore base with two bars

    It's a cold and windy place. folks used to say "there is a woman behind every tree but there are no trees". However, I guy brought his wife to keep him company during the winter season. He planted a tree and built a 2 mtr high wooded fence around the tree. The tree never grew higher than 2 mtr due to the wind...

    1. But how did the woman do on the windy islands? I'd think you would either get used to the wind and not even hear it anymore, or you would go mad as a hatter.
