That sounds -- and looks -- beautiful. Funnily enough my perfect place would be a houseboat on the Norfolk Broads LOL! The grass is always greener!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

oh i'd love a houseboat too - but it's not far enough away from people!!!

[tharain.livejournal.com]

Same here, but no helicopter delivery. Boat. Preferably sail or steam.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

if you have a boat you have to discourse with people. helicopter can drop the stuff and not land.

[tharain.livejournal.com]

Not if they simply leave things at the dock, and pick up the payment. Plus, that's what the strapping houseman/butler is for: public discourse, private...protection.

'Castle Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh!!!!!!!!!!' lol We were there last Summer, at low tide, and it is a beautiful place, to be sure. I rather like Kisimul on Barra, too.

can't have tourists wandering past. seems I'll need archers....

[tinnean.livejournal.com]

Would the heating and indoor plumbing be included?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

oh definitely. don't want to be cold!

In that case, I'd like: Swiss Family Robinson treehouse on South Seas island with amenities. 0:-)

That image reminds me of Lochranza Castle, at the northern tip of Arran, Scotland. Lochranza was one of the main inspirations for Herge's Tintin story "The Black Island".

it's nice isn't it? no idea where it is, but I want it. :D

[sinick.livejournal.com]

WANT.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

get yer own!

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Lol! Lovely pic, but I take one look at that and think: MIDGIES!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

if I can afford this, I can afford midge flunkies.

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Good plan. They can fan you gently whenever the wind drops!

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

Make the island Scottish and that suits me.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I think the picture is a Scottish one, so you have thatone, andI'll go and hunt for an Irish one.

I like that, although I still really want to live in the Hunting Tower at Chatsworth. If we rented it for my 42nd birthday, how long do you think we could hold out afterwards before they managed to evict us?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

oo - that is pretty! We could hold out a good while with archers and lots of boiling oil...

[stevie-carroll.livejournal.com]

So long as they don't recruit Debo to help them evict us. She's scary if you get on teh wrong side of her (but awesome if she agrees with what you're doing).

[jean-roberta.livejournal.com]

Amazing picture! Thanks for posting.

[crawling-angel.livejournal.com]

That would do us perfectly too...just so long as the takeaway/alcohol delivery man had a helicopter licence too, lol! Failing that, we'd have St John's church converted.

That's more than ten words tho, lol. I always needed a calculator at school. :/
