Waterfalls of stars : ten years on Skomer Island
Alexander, Roseanne2017
Book
When Roseanne Alexander s boyfriend Mike was offered the job of warden of Skomer, a small uninhabited island off the south west tip of Wales, they had just 10 days to leave college, marry (a condition of employment) and gather their belongings and provisions for the trip to the island. This was the first of many challenges Roseanne and Mike faced during their 10 years on the nature reserve, from coping with periods of isolation when they were the island's only inhabitants, to dwindling food supplies during the winter when rough weather made provisioning from the mainland impossible. Here, Roseanne relates their experiences on the island, including her observations of the wildlife and landscape.
