Neuroknitting!

For my new followers, this is me looking sharp, and my lovely girlfriend. This is the first time I’ve ever posted a personal photo so indulge me…

This is where I live. The Island of Eriskay in the Western Isles of Scotland. Fr Allan MacDonald wrote (in Gaelic):

“Should I even have my choice

I’d prefer of all in Europe

A dwelling place beside the wave

In the lovely Isle of Youth.

It’s bare of foliage, bare of bent-grass,

Bare of barley sowing,

But beautiful for all its bareness

Is each sod of it to me.”

The causeway from my island Eriskay to the next one Uist. It’s a perilous crossing, for the otters at least.
