There's no way I could keep that house clean and tidy. For a start, I am a slattern housework avoider (so many better things to do in a day - MN, games on the iPad, reading, crochet....) and secondly I have three sons (17,19 and 21) - ds1 and ds2 are away at university, but come home to sponge off us in the vacations, and ds3 is off to university this autumn, but will join the vacation spongers, just as ds1 graduates and, fingers crossed, gets gainful employment and stops coming home to sponge.
None of them have ever grasped the idea of tidiness - we are more of a clutter family - and all those lovely floors would fill up in an instant with clothes and other gubbins.
Thirdly, I have two dogs, both of whom love a bit of mud - and if it has cow shit in it, all the better for rolling in - it's bad enough trying to keep my somewhat cluttered, not terribly well vacuumed house looking as if two muddy dogs haven't rampaged through it - but that house would show EVERY paw print and every hair shed - and believe me, they can shed! When I do vacuum, I gather enough dog fur to knit a new dog!
I am tempted by island living/isolated rural living - as long as the internet connection is good, and Tesco/sainsburys/Amazon/Wool Warehouse deliveries can all get through. I suspect this is not always the case on Tiree!
I am planning to drag dh off for a holiday on one of the Scottish islands at some point. I spent a week on Orkney with dmum and dsis - loved Orkney, wanted to kill them in the actual face with a spade - so I might want to go back there, or somewhere like Tiree or somewhere in the Hebrides. He can walk the dogs to their hearts content, whilst I sit in front of a log burning stove with my book and my crochet - heaven!
