As soon as I got on the ferry back home I was plotting when next to return. As a city girl who dreamed of living on a farm by the sea since I was little, I felt like Mayne Island was home. I felt my anxiety float away as soon as we landed. What a paradise you live in Alexis, and thank you for letting the weary and tired share a piece of this serenity.
Go on, swim in the ocean. It's OK, the starfish don't bite. Lounge in the hammock - no bugs to swat at. Go on and explore by foot - no bears to fear, just about the tiniest deer you've ever seen...everywhere. Drive slow! They are literally everywhere.
Everyone's so wonderfully friendly! They'll wave as you drive/walk by. Don't be shy - wave back!
The Cob house itself is a piece of art. Truly well crafted. A lot of sweet little details, clearly a heavy hand of love went into this.
I'm loose as a noodle from the experience. No wonder this house is so popular. It's otherworldly, the whole island is like a dream. Thank you so very much Alexis and Manny.
p.s. you have the most well behaved sheep in the world.
