Found this blog, and I thought, well, I have to feed those chickens...I'll just finish my coffee and see what this is about. <br /> Two hours later, the chickens are pecking at the door trying to get my attention. Goodness me...what a delight to read this blog. <br /> I have book marked it, and will drop into it again from time to time. And check out your etsy shop. (I think I saw a link up towards the top there...)<br /><br /> <br />STAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198646624631167489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-10710699246000887222012-11-05T08:51:05.296+00:002012-11-05T08:51:05.296+00:00My Dear Rima...

Are you near there? It is one of the most wished for things on my hidden basket of hopes and dreams. I just read this post of yours from Ullapool to Lewis. 27 years ago, my husband and I traveled to Scotland and were married in Ullapool! Oh, it was the most magical and memorable of fairytales in my life. We then ventured onto Lewis and Harris to spend our long days in married beginnings together. We have never been back. I keep trying and this is our first trip tomorrow back to the UK in all these long years. Sadly, we will not make it up to Ullapool where this long grand adventure began for us, so many years ago. I cannot tell you how full you've made my heart in seeing all of the beautiful photos of this special place to us. It all looks the same beautiful place! So, now we venture forth to Monkton Wyld Court to take the Permaculture Course and see about Peoplecare. Is there some way to learn of your whereabouts? Perhaps you'd be telling a story somewhere? Maybe you could come to Monkton to tell all of us a story in our Peoplecare Course which runs through November 22nd....I know very forward of me to ask such a thing!! So, if you are anywhere near Dorset...and you are telling stories of playing songs...maybe we could meet? I would be brief but, want to hug the woman that paints magic in the world and tells stories to keep our souls full of love. My email is journeyseeds at gmail.com if you feel moved to write in return. I do not know if I will get to check my email while travelling but, I shall try in hope of finding a surprise!

It is a beautiful part of the world and one I long to go back to; your blog has inspired me to make sure I do. <br />How wonderful to be able to set up in such unusual places. So atmospheric and you both bring such an energy and passion to your story telling, a rare gift. I am very grateful to you for your recording too as I haven't caught any of your live performances yet.
