It's very exciting! Sure... we did have a 'breaking the ground' celebration a few weeks back and sure... the Convener (Sandy Cluness) of Shetland Islands Council did  jump in a digger and scrape the earth a little and it WAS a very special moment, but nothing, nothing beats seeing the real action getting underway.

OK. I get that all you can see is a big digger doing what diggers do. I also get that my mobile phone mini film is a bit wobberly. The thing is, to those of us who have been on the very long journey that has brought us to this point it's much more than just a digger - it's a lovely digger and the first digger I have ever felt emotional about.
