Straggling Homeward
Jonathan >
Late afternoon – 3pm at this time of year, and the first still and sunny break for many days. We gather up : coats, boots, Tilly. From Smercleit, north along the western shore of South Uist as far as Boisdale. We turn there, our lengthening shadows straggling homeward behind us.
5th December 2002, 18 years ago today, a day much like today, we arrived at the walled garden with our ginger cats Molly and Meg, Lady – a wire-haired Jack Russel, and mile-high hopes for a more fulfilling life.

Love those afternoon shadows.
Ah, that’s an impressive anniversary. And were your hopes met, looking back?
J & D > More than ! Fortunately our hopes and dreams were not specific, and we were able to respond to emerging opportunities. We’ve been lucky!
