    One Programme I will be watching is the New Series of "Islands of Britain" introduced by Martin Clunes.

    The main reason is that he is starting off at one of the Lighthouses where I worked for a while, "Muckle Flugga" which is the Most Northerly Point in the UK. It will be good to see it again.

    I did too, especially the start about Mukle Flugga as I was there for a short Period as a Keeper, Great Place it is

    It is beautiful but wouldn't want to stay there. How did you pass the time Kodiak? You couldn't go for a walk.

    Barra looked breathtaking. To think we have all these beautiful places on our own doorstep.

    But we could, we would often walk around the Station Grounds. The Island is heaving with all types of Birds including my Favourites, Puffins.

    We had a TV, not great reception, Read Books, worked on the Maintainence of the Lighthouse, also the most important one Cooking and Cleaning.

    We also worked for the Met Office and we passed on a weather report every hour on the hour 24/7. Believe you me there was always something to do.

    I enjoyed my service for the Northern Lighthouse Board and if I had the chance I would do it all over again. Mind you I am sure it would not suit everyone.

    Oh I see! You would need to get on with your fellow lighthouse keepers.

    What other lighthouses were you posted to? Yes I am sure it wouldn't suit everyone but must have been good to be away from everything for a while. Would be good to be so close to birds like the puffins.

    You should tell us all about your time as a lighthouse keeper as I , for one, would be really interested to hear about it.

    I have been at these Lighthouses :-

    Girdleness Lighthouse
    Rattray Head Lighthouse
    Pladda Lighthouse
    Ailsa Craig Lighthouse
    Neist Point Lighthouse
    Cantick Head Lighthouse
    Muckle Flugga Lighthouse
    Cape Wrath Lighthouse
    Stroma Lighthouse
    Holurn Head Lighthouse

    I spent most time at 2 of them and they were, Cape Wrath and Stroma. I did ponder for a while about writing book about being a Lighthouse Keeper but there are several on the market all ready. I might get around to it one day, that is if I can myself motivated.
