Little house on Tumblin Island

Little house on Tumblin Island We want to share pictures and stories of what we are up to at our little island house.

We have been doing a lot of work; also swimming, fishing, having campfires, and enjoying the new sauna.

A mysterious patch of stinging nettle was found here last year.
We pulled it all out in the Fall ( after a friend was stung on the way to the loo!).

The view from Maiden Hair ( that’s Cape Lahave Island in the background).

And the view from Tumblin toward Maiden Hair.
It’s just a stones throw away💕
