Tails from an Island

At last I am online so will be able to post at home. This is lovely since I repose in the twee little house I bought on coming to the island. It's only four bedrooms - all en-suite - but it will do. Friends from London think I'm mad putting up with such a simple house but I like it that way. I have every intention of living the simple life, communing with nature and having a small carbon footprint to boot :-).

I was back communing with the stars the other day when I flew in from a little shopping trip to the mainland. Apparently The Proclaimers were on board but I couldn't actually see who they were as they would quite obviously liked to have met me. Anyway, the plane took a while to come in what with the awful weather and one chap was moved around the plane as ballast - which was a bit cruel - even though he was a tad chunky.

The evening came and I went off to hear these Proclaimer chaps in a big tent in the castle grounds. Not even a proper floor had been laid so my heels took rather a battering in the mud. Lots of nice men in kilts though. And the band singers did have good lungs I must say. No hospitality of note though so I came home for an early night.
