Just watched the interview, thank you for sharing. It sounds like a lovely lifestyle on the island, where it seems people have enough time to care for each other, and a place where the simpler, but essential, one might say better things of life, prevail. I was interested to hear that Amazon (for one) deliver on the island. Is that through the auspices of the Royal Mail, or has the island become an Amazon drone delivery target? I am sure that the weather might limit may that last, somewhat tongue in cheek, suggestion as Amazon, who trialed that scheme in my neck of the woods have quietely mothballed the idea. I have flown over the island many times. I am now determined to come and see it sometime and have a pint, on terra firma, there.ricardian wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 8:27 amThe local on-line newspaper The Orkney News has been organising interviews with various folk in Orkney who have contributed to the local community through their work which may be for art, music, film, communications, tradition, mental health, and wellbeing. A couple of months ago I was interviewed in my capacity as editor of the Stronsay Limpet and the result has now been published online, I hope that it encourages a few folk to consider Stronsay for a holiday in the future. Fiona & Martin have done an amazing job of editing a couple of hours of interview down to about 10 minutes.
Long may the Stronsay Limpet abide. It is clearly more than just hanging on.
I took the liberty of forwarding the links to some Scottish friends now living in South Africa.
