I am aware that most of you reading this blog don’t have big chunks of ‘cottage’ time available in your lives, but I also assume that something in you desires silence, solitude and simplicity and sometimes to be alone. Otherwise, why would you ever return to this blog? My hope is that in reading about my experiences and my thinking behind them, you will discover your own ways to find the silence, solitude and simplicity that you want, and find moments alone.
