I've always been a fairly self-reliant person so the isolation isn't too bad, and on Graemsay you can always drop in for a cuppa and a chat with neighbours if you want too. But of course there aren't the distractions that you find in more urban areas either!<br /><br />VioletSky - do let me know if you come up to Orkney but yes, it IS expensive. I think the return air fare from London to ORkney would be equivalent to a four day all inclusive mini-break in Europe - sigh......Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-52941267866214729122009-07-19T15:23:00.298+01:002009-07-19T15:23:00.298+01:00Like Mary, I love the idea of island living - I...Like Mary, I love the <i>idea</i> of island living - I'd possibly go batty withing a week, BUT, the more I see and read... I'm trying to figure a way of including Orkney to my next trip to Glasgow. I suspect it will be as expensive as getting to Glasgow!!VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-1458162390392034922009-07-19T13:50:26.415+01:002009-07-19T13:50:26.415+01:00I do so love the idea of island living - being abl...I do so love the idea of island living - being able to see, hear, and smell the sea. As I wrote that, I thought maybe this is one of those things that I'd love the "idea" of it, but not necessarily like the "reality" of it. Hmmmmm.<br /><br />I'd love to give it a try sometime, though.Mary Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986934534719487604noreply@blogger.com
