Thank you for a reminder and additional information.

Can you ever see yourself returning to a big town/city?  

Having said that, can you foresee a time when you want another dog?  Not a replacement for Dageus, obviously (bless him and your happy memories), but just as a "new beginning", per se?

As with all things, there's a price to pay.  .. weather, amenities, etc.

For me, living there would have to be short term and for a holiday.  I suspect your trips to Perth are on a similar footing.

My trips back to Perth are to see my family and long time friends, decent shops I can mooch in, though I could do a day trip to Inverness for that. But I don't really know the place that well so I go to Perth, I lived on my own there for several years after my marriage ended and I grew used to it being only me, and at that time 3 Old English Sheepdogs. My peace n quiet became very precious to me as I'd been to hell and back because of my ex's treatment of me.
After a year I took the dogs and went up North for a break, bumped into Duncan who I knew from childhood and spent some time with him. We kept in touch and talked on the phone a lot once I got back to Perth. I never intended to spend so much time up North, but things worked out that way.

Yes it is Muddy, a wild and lonely area, but those who live here love it. :wink:

Quote from: morty on Today at 04:35:11 PMIt looks idyllic .... not a motorway or pylon in sight. What's the population Raven? I bet it's not many ...

It's around 800.

Think I posted this wee video before, not sure. But it goes from the village harbour to Thurso passing over our place about 2 mins in. It's 4 mins long but you certainly get the idea of the place.
You'll recognise places from all my walk with Dageus photos towards the end, around Thurso beach area.

I'm annoyed today having read that the toerag Jon Venables us up before his parole board again and trying to get out.
If anyone deserved to rot in jail it's him.

I never realised dogs followed politics or any ideology come to that.

Labs are not far right , they are just too soft.

My basset is far more right wing.
