Hebrides, Life on the Islands......Bad.

[Raven]

I only remember a few things about my early life on Mull, but I know heating was not a problem. I remember the big open fire we used to have going a lot of the year, and never feeling cold. I never remember going hungry either, life was simple but happy, without much worries back then.
But now with the carry on over Cal Mac's unreliable Ferries and this Fuel carry on. Not so good anymore.

Was that one of the horses from the mines?
My horse, or I should say the one I use is named Bonnie, Dunc's is named Clyde. He owns them, and he named them after that famous criminal couple.
I've had this running clydie for years, also got a fierce looking pacing wolf, and today I got a lovely flying raven.

no he was too big for the mines [thank God]
the most popular breeds down the pit were Welsh Ponies I think...
