If Once You Have Slept on An Island
A hundred year old poem that has stood the test of time... If once you have slept on an island You'll never be quite the same: You may look as you looked the day before And go by the same old name, You may bustle about in street and shop You may sit at home and sew,...

RATS… I think every rock has ‘em and if you don’t count yourself lucky!! I can’t stand them - from their beady little eyes to their gelatinous tail - yuck!! On my rock, you see them wandering around from time to time but as my husband would say in his English accent...
Link Up Local
Either you are into searching, scouting and finding out new, (yeah, new what??), new everything or you are not. I belong to the first category. For me part of living on a Rock is embracing the style/ways and quirkiness of that Rock. Having moved to a new Rock a year...
