So, here I am, sitting listening to the 'Lord of the Rings' CD creating a new blog and browsing the internet on a dark and windy night wondering what we used to do before the internet and Web 2.0. Probably sitting in front of the TV instead! Of, course, now we can broadcast to the world all our musings, even from the remote islands we live in.

It means I can keep in touch with distant family and friends at the touch of a button as they are scattered across the British Isles with one or two further afield. Handy for someone who grew up in the Highlands of Scotland, studied in Aberdeen and moved (on my own with my cat) away from family to Orkney at a tender age (oh, so long ago!) to take up a new job. Who would have thought that the world could be brought so close.

Some 17 years on, married, with feline companions and 3 ponies (1 foal), I am still here, not necessarily liking the dark winters or horrible ferry journeys and missing the trees and forests of where I grew up, well established in my chosen home with 'roots' that appear to have grown inexorably deep into the fertile Orkney soil. So, Here I am!
