Forgive the abruptness of this announcement. STUFF will be going on hiatus for a while, that I might recover a bit from the cumulative strain of six years’ continuous application of pressure. Six years? That feels absurd, but it is about that long since I last had a week when I felt nothing hanging over me. That was on the Isle of Eigg, in the Hebrides, and Eigg remains among the most moving places I have ever been. So I offer you, in token of my thanks for your reading this nonsense the past ten months, a photo of the cows departing from our garden, our last morning on Eigg, July 21, 2018.
With luck you’ll hear from me again in a matter of months. Many thanks to you all.
