Scilly Life
Glance at the map and in the vast blue vista, there is a little green blister,
A random cluster of tropical Isles, cast adrift by nautical miles.
Where pirates and wreckers sell their wares to the visiting trekkers.
And in emerald coves, the mermaids shed off their clothes.
To swim in sea, thats far too cold for landlubbers like me!
The Isles of Scilly are a unique and special place. A place of ever changing skies, deep blue and green seas and magical boat rides. I have found them to be islands of contrast. The summers burst with brilliance and people, the winters harsh, brutal and beautifully isolating. I was astounded by the people, hard working, open and incredibly creative. Which also renders me very humble when publishing my offerings.
Only thirty miles from the mainland its a lifetime away!
