No Men in Tights
It might be because I grew up in Sherwood, the legendary home of Robin Hood, that I have a strong need to marry my technical cyber life with natural landscapes. I currently live in the city centre, which is all good for high bandwith connectivity and high culture, but I miss rural living. Open fields. Dark woodland. Quiet contemplation, and a general slower, more relaxed life style.
In a bid to find this alternative living, Sarah and I signed up for a weekend in a Kata – Scandinavian tipi. Our new home is hosted by Comrie Croft, half way along the Crieff and Comrie road. It is huge, accomodating a huge super kingsize bed, and a wood stove in the centre. Outside we have our own fire pit for late night story telling, a pic-nick table where we can serve dinner, and a hammock to unwind while swaying in the wind with a good book.
On arrival the newly born lambs skipped as they chased the car along the long driveway, a dirt-track leading to the reception. Here you sign in for your tipi, hostel, or you can even bring your own tents and camp by your own fire ring.
Photos of our adventure are included here.
