Just checking in

Hello,

It might have been a while since you last read any of my posts — no apologies needed if you haven’t had time to read any. Life is definitely busier when you don’t live on an Island, as I do.

I sailed to the mainland recently, and it’s very busy, especially In North Devon, where I am from. By the way, if you have been on a recent Oldenburg crossing, have you seen the new MS Oldenburg wine glasses? They are my new favourite island souvenir.

Anyway, I digress. I wanted to say a quick hello – I am still here on the Island, writing about walking, making, and paying close attention to Place from the wild edges of Lundy to a slowly emerging project in Portugal. If that still sounds like your kind of thing, I’d love it if you keep subscribing so that I can share it with you.

If you’d like a taste of what’s been happening lately, here’s a recent favourite — the story of the windsurfer who arrived at the Marisco Tavern having sailed all the way from Westward Ho!, and the unexpected chain of memories it unlocked.

Either way — thank you for being here.

Jane
