I am on Block Island, where I lived until 2019, when I moved back to Scotland to live more permanently in Edinburgh. I put the date, because I never thought it would be three years until I returned, even though I would come as a guest of US son and family, no longer in my … More Block Island Holiday
Some readers will know exactly to where and what this post refers; others will not. This blog serves me as a Dairy, and so I record for today, what is very important to me.
