The Blue Cabin  - Living by the Tides on Islandmore
Blackstaff Press

73474

When a business reversal prompted the author and his artist wife Lynn McGregor to leave their much-loved home in Scotland and cross the Irish Sea for a wooden cabin on the otherwise uninhabited island of Islandmore, in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland, the island dream became reality ‒ at first unwelcome, ultimately life-enhancing.

With boat-only access, no mains electricity and an outside bathroom, island living was something of a challenge for two landlubbers accustomed to central heating and a car at the front door..

The Blue Cabin chronicles a year of island life in one of the most beautiful corners of Ireland. It is a story of disruption and discovery; of mutual reliance, steep learning curves and the importance of place.
