A collection of writings about projects, adventures, and general musings. Good to read if you want to get to know me a little better.

Don’t go to Skye! (in winter)

On the 1st, we woke up to quiet. It was still dark when we stumbled around the little cottage, gathering our things and hoping for, finally, a beautiful dawn.
