Greetings, fellow Earthling.

Herewith my website. Remember, it’s not actually me, it’s merely some information about some things that I do portrayed by the clever arrangement of pixels. If you were to meet me in the flesh, I suspect you’d be disappointed, unless I’m wearing my bottle green fleece, which is a thing of beauty.

Anyway, 2012 is the year of researching my new book (out in April 2013 with AA Publishing, fact fans) Tiny Islands. I’ll thus be travelling by train, bicycle and boat to sixty tiny islands in and around Britain from the Scilly Isles to the Shetlands and posting tidbits about same on this very website.

If you see me, do wave.

Yours and oblig,

Dixe

Looe Island

A friend and I, walking a Cornish section of the South-West Coast Path last month, inadvertently found ourselves camping near Looe (aka St George’s) Island – home for forty years to the extraordinarily unflappable Atkins sisters. Here it is in all its a-little-after-dawn glory. I’ll be visiting the puckish little isle this summer when, if all goes well, it should have warmed up to the point where tents won’t have to be defrosted before they can be returned to their bags.

Unlike most tiny islands, this one stretches to its own website, so pop along here for a preview peek.
