   The Faeroes are interesting to me for a strange reason – they were a major part of my book, with your truly having never gone there. And having never gone there, the research took a long time to get it more natural.

   Still not sure if any valley exists like the one I described on the west side but one can only hope.

   Amazing pictures. Were there forests when the Norse settled it, or is this as they saw it?

   Haven’t a clue – not sure Chuckles does either. Shall read up.

   No forests in the Faroes – nor Shetland, nor Orkney nor Lewis nor Harris.

   Dear me – that’s not a lot of fun. How do they build their ships?

   Fetch from Norway, probably, or Britain or Ireland. The Greenland Vikings used to fetch from Labrador.
