Whilst searching for a book out in garage where the remaining removal boxes are, (still to be unpacked). I came across two small albums of early days on Rona, mostly 2002.
So I have posted them on the : Early 2002 page. click on the link.
I wish I had found them when I started this early history of my life on Rona but I can always edit it. In the meantime enjoy a part of 2002 through these ‘found photos’!
I've been living on the island since April 2002, alone for the first 5 years, my partner L joined me in 2007. We manage the Island for a Danish family who bought the Island in the early 90's.
Their hopes for the Island are to make it self sufficient supporting its inhabitants and that is where we come in.
We look after the stock, 3 holiday cottages, machinery, boat and of course the visitors.
It is pretty challenging but it is a beautiful place to live and work, we love it and strangely enough we love it even more in the depths of winter when all is quiet apart from the gales and rain.
We do a bit of fishing, stock work, stalking deer and loads of other stuff. We have good support from lots of people whom we have met over the years and have become involved in the Island. Too many to mention here but keep an eye on the blog, they'll be there for sure in the future.
