Islomania

 By Maryanna Gabriel 

"There are people who find islands somehow irresistible.
The mere knowledge they are on an island,
a little world surrounded by the sea,
fills them with an indescribable intoxication."
- Lawrence Durrell

And one that has frequent power failures at that. Islomania is defined as being partial to islands. The rumours about me are all true. Bells on my fingers, and bells on my toes. Jingle, jingle. I am making a list then checking it twice. Finally I will be home. All the new nooks and crannies to discover and explore - it will be a whole new adventure. And then with sitting in my armchair by the fire with a cup of tea, once again, it will be travels in a different sort of way.

Doing all of this and more, I will be back in 2025. May you be shielded from the storms, stay warm, and to all a good night. Take care.
