Okay, I’ve been helping my Martha’s out the last couple of Link-it Up Posts. This week is for the Mary’s, but you Martha’s with an adventurous bone are allowed to come along too.
I just got back from buying a new rain jacket (the Columbia type, not the Gwyneth Paltrow trench kind), and rain pants, and waterproof hiking shoes. I bought them because that’s the sort of clothing I need. I rarely need pretty clothes because I work outside in the sun, rain, snow. I also live in a place that just does not lend itself to pretty clothes. I’m talking animals, gardens, dirt roads, and MUD. Which, is really my preference.
While making my purchase, I kept thinking about this woman who lives on Graemsay Island, a Scottish Island, population 27. She does health research for some medical companies. But mostly she enjoys her life on the island, and makes trips to the surrounding islands to visit friends, and hangs out with her chickens while gardening. She is AWESOME. I bought my rain jacket envisioning that I lived on Graemsay, and visited my neighbors on adjacent islands (in my new jacket), and gardened while looking out over the ocean.
Check out this picture.
Do you see the ship in the distance? How cool is this picture?
I’d live here in two shakes. If I didn’t have MP, and BD, and the Coast Guard son, and the teen, I’d be off to Graemsay Island. I do love an adventure.
So, today roam around her blog. It will fascinate you. Her life is simple and yet, so completely out of the ordinary that it is a daily adventure. And, we all need a little adventure, right? Here’s the link. Enjoy and be adventurous!
