As you probably know, I was lucky enough to ‘borrow’ a friend’s island for a couple of days to do some work for him.
You have to row over from the mainland…
It’s well worth it: the first thing you see is this pretty cottage.
There was plenty of time for relaxation,
Contemplation about the simple things in life,
And gazing at the sunset.
A lot of work was done —
And best of all, we even caught some stars.
I’m away in the England for the next week, so won’t be around much. I’ve got some automated posts in case you want to pop around here again…

Looks like a fabulous place to work!!
