About us

A romanticised version of description

Many thanks for this beautiful postcard from Pinterest

In the tender embrace of the sea, there lies an island – a reservoir of untold stories, memories, and anecdotes, each whispering the ancient secrets of a lifestyle long forgotten. It is here, among the whispers of the waves and the murmurs of the wind, that we endeavor to capture the essence of a life that once flourished, markedly distinct from the hurried existence we find ourselves ensnared in today, and equally divergent from the contemporaneous ways of the mainland.

Our mission, steeped in the fervent desire to bridge epochs, is not merely an act of preservation but a profound homage to the souls who have tread these lands before us. The stories we seek are not the grand narratives that find their place in the annals of history, but rather, the subtle, lived experiences of individuals whose lives have been intimately woven with the island's rhythm. This endeavor does not claim comprehensiveness; it is, instead, a conscious curation of the subjective attitudes and reflections of those who have witnessed the island's transformation across the tides of time.

The fabric of this project is rich with the threads of personal narratives, each contributing to the mosaic of the island's heritage. With reverence and a shared sense of custodianship, we are committed to ethically engaging with these stories. Through a collaborative process, parts of these narratives will be sensitively edited, with the explicit consent of their authors, and woven into a tapestry that seeks to encapsulate the island's spirit. This tapestry, in the form of a book, is slated for publication in 2025, aspiring to be a beacon for future generations, guiding them through the mist of forgotten times.

Yet, such an endeavor, as noble as it is ambitious, cannot thrive in isolation.
It is a call to keysmash for those who believe in the preservation of knowledge, the enchantment of stories, and the invaluable legacy of our forebears. We invite you to join us in this quest, to become stewards of history and guardians of memory. Your membership and support breathe life into this project, ensuring that the marvelous stories and profound insights of the island's past are not lost to the voracious tides of time but are cherished, celebrated, and passed down through the ages.

In extending this invitation, we beckon you to be part of something transcendent – a community dedicated to safeguarding the narratives of a world that, while no longer in existence, continues to shape our understanding of humanity, culture, and the intrinsic connection we share with the natural world.

Thank you for considering this journey with us, for it is in the act of remembering and retelling that we truly honor the legacy of those who have walked before us.
