Love the image of the shack. Such a wonderful pastoral shot…

This post reminds me of well me. I can see exactly how you would become an outlander. I spend much of my time alone even when with my wife’s family. Getting to know your surroundings is something wonderful and sadly something not many take advantage of.

Beautiful piece.
It is truly strange to return to these “former homes” – when I was back in Germany last year I couldn’t quite believe I’d lived in that town for almost three years, I academically understood I had, but emotionally, perhaps I’d moved on, and it was a bizarre feeling. Particularly as my friends there had also moved on. Perhaps if I’d had the chance to get out into the countryside like you did it would have felt more familiar.

You summed it up right there: “Outlander is a funny word for someone who developed such a personal relationship with the surface of the land.”
