Jura Days


I’m Hogmanaying on Jura so posting is likely to remain as unreliable as the electricity suppply presently is in these parts. When the lights came back on yesterday it was as though we leapt from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. (Actually: the north end of the island was only attached to the grid in, I think, 1953. That was the legacy of the Attlee government’s promise to complete electrification.)

Anyway, a Happy New Year to you all. May it prove as fun and spectacular as you might or could wish it to be.
