Happy 2012

Happy New Year from a peerie house by the sea in Burra, Shetland. Welcome too to my new blog, my first ever blog. After years of traveling around, working abroad and thinking it would be a great way to keep contact with people, I'm only now getting round this after having moved back home to Shetland, albeit that was over 2 years ago now. With 2012 has come new inspiration though, with an invite to travel to the States to do some fiddling in a National Theatre of Scotland production, so I figured it was time to get the blog moving, and build a home for memories of my fiddling travels, or whatever else might be going on in life! I've named the site LyndaFiddle which is an alias I chose for an email address years ago and I've come to think of it as my fiddle-playing self, which has co-existed with my research science and other working self over the years. I like to live by the philosophy that life should never be predictable and you have to grab opportunities when they fly past. I hope to document some of those tales in the blogs ahead... here's to health and happiness in the year ahead. Lx
