Cocos dreaming
In Dec 1973, my aunty and uncle embarked on two major journeys; marriage and a year long trip to the Cocos Islands. They told great stories of their time there and Gerry painted landscapes that captivated me from a young age. In late 2007, I finally walked the islands that they so dreamily embedded in my child’s mind. Thank you Steve and Gerry!

It’s hovering right around freezing as I’m about to step outside to chase foxes – but I’ll feel warm thinking of this.

Beautifully told, Louise. Both the photograph of this extraordinary place and the story behind your finally reaching it, too. What an effect we have on each other, such a great tribute to your aunt and uncle that their dream of decades ago powerfully reached you and sent you to the Cocos Islands for a look of your own.

hi Louise I love the story as much as the picture, so so beautiful a place to fall in love with
we have a place just off the coast of England, Tresco which is part of The Isles of Scilly and this reminds me so much of it.
