living on an island

While this is Christmas related, its not really about Christmas, its more about the Christmas weather. I'm sure that I have posted about this before, and I was going to like it here, but I cant seem to find it right now. I think I need to get my labels sorted to make finding things a little easier for everyone, including me!

Anyway, living on an island is great. There are some many advantages to living in a small community, one that actually has a proper community feel to it as well. However, there are certain disadvantages, the main one being that you are so far from everyone else and its expensive and time consuming to get anywhere on the main land. There is also another distinct disadvantage of living on an island, when the weather is bad, shopping become a problem!

Fruit anyone?

I should have taken a picture of the bread as well, because that was in a similar state, as was the vegetables on the other side of the fruit, you can just about make it out, as if you look carefully, you can actually see though the shelves on the bottom picture, there is a couple walking in the isle you can see by the melons in the bottom left.

It wasn't all bad though, there was still some fruit and veg, mostly the expensive organic stuff and some frozen and the in-store bakery was still producing loves of bread, at equally expensive prices! For us, it doesn't really matter, it was only for a few days and we had enough in the house to survive, thank god for freezers! Still, I'll take this minor inconvenience and live on an island. As far as I'm concerned its 1000 times better living here than in London where I grew up!
