Tuesday, September 25 2012. Christmas
I've been home from Tanera Mor a few days now, and have been able to reflect a little on what was an amazing two weeks on the island.The weather certainly worked very hard during the first week to disrupt everyone's plans. First there was a chance we would not get onto the island, and then there […]
