Hello Janette - well we do see our tutors once a week so plenty of contact and I do try to be nice to them! - but they do seem to contradict themselves a lot which can be a bit confusing for all concerned! I suppose they have to find something fresh to say, and perhaps sometimes it's hard for them to remember what they said the week before. I look on the bright side - at least it's plenty of varied debate! I love the sound of your project - Shetland is such an exciting place. I visited Orkney recently, but Shetland is the next on my travel agenda just as soon as this course finishes! Best wishes, Carolyn
