    WELCOME TO MY BLOG

    I moved to the Isle of Skye on Tuesday 2nd May 2017 in search of a healthier and more active lifestyle. I left behind a full time demanding job in South East England in favour of working a couple of hours a day in a guest house on Skye as a part time housekeeper. My aim is to have plenty of time to pursue my creative interests; DIY, interior projects and photography.  I would like to become involved in the local community here on the Waternish Peninsula in NW Skye. My blog will be a record of my endeavours and provide information about Skye.
