Bet they normally don't have much on.

 

That would of been there biggest case in years lol

When I stopped on sanday their was no permanent police on the island though I think that has changed now.

Yeah it's totally different mate. To be honest I'm still finding my feet and working that out. From what I've seen some things are cheaper and some are really dear. My bills are cheaper but some food is expensive

Had a nice walk up the cliffs this morning. The deerhound x caught a rabbit so well pleased

[Hannibal 226]

The deerhound is not phased by the heavy wind and rain but the bull x don't reckon it at all

[Hannibal 226]

Been doing a lot of walking this week and found some nice deserted places where there is plenty of game

your a lucky man hannibal.

It really is heaven up here mate. Only downside is no foxes for the bull x to retrieve so looks like he is unemployed now lol

Be a few years until I'm up here full time ,once my boy has grown up I'll be up here.

I'll tell you one thing though whatever dog you have up here has to have a good jacket ,the wind is unbelievable here. Perfect lampung weather all year round it seems

i would love that life. i'd probably prefur it to anywhere else up there but i'd miss my friend.

[ginger beard 4,652]

if the truth be known i would love it but it takes a dedicated sort to live there full time and i'm not sure if i'm that type but for a few month long holidays a year would be perfect.

I thought the same mate until I spent some time up here. The outer islands are too isolated for me ,populations of a couple hundred people and really cut off from everywhere. The mainland where i am is just fine for me. All the facilities of any small town but without all the people.

[Hannibal 226]

Besides it's ideal for me. To be honest I'm not really a people person and would not bother me going months without talking to people. I'm pretty lucky my missus is the same,if your not a dog or a horse she don't talk to you lol

Had another nice mooch up the cliffs today. Walked for miles ,saw no one and my bitch put up another rabbit and caught it. I though she done herself an injury though by running full pelt into a wire fence. It's a different type of fencing up her to what she's used to. Just 4 strand wire set up with posts about 3metre apart. It's very deceiving,looks like there is no fence at all until your right next to it. I really thought she had cut herself to pieces but she just bounced off it and then jumped it. Very pleased with her bit then again I'm pretty easily pleased nowadays just enjoy watching them run. The bull x was in hot pursuit but she left him behind.
