Book Description

with a hey ho the wind and the rain... is a memoir that is written from heartfelt experience. Why would a young couple leave a comfortable urban life for the rigours of an isolated existence in the Scottish Highlands? What did they discover as they faced daunting physical challenges in a world of rock and water? And how did their encounters with the few scattered neighbours open their lives to a richness of friendship and support without which survival would have been impossible? In this memoir, Tim and Maggie Shields attempt to answer some of these questions as she and her husband tell of those years of adventure and personal discovery. This was truly a journey of discovery!
