18 June 1940 Oh my Margaret You have no secrets from me but I've kept a part of myself locked away always. A part of me that started scratching at the wall the day this other war started that started howling to get out right now the day you ran off to meet your soldier. I should have told you should've taught you to steel your heart. Taught you that a letter isn't always just a letter. Words on the page can drench the sould. If only you knew. Mother Elspeth is fond of saying to her daughter that 'the first volume of my life is out of print'. But when a bomb hits an Edinburgh street and Margaret finds her mother crouched in the ruins of her bedroom pulling armfuls of yellowed letters onto her lap the past Elspeth has kept so carefully locked away is out in the open. The next day Elspeth disappears. Left alone with the letters Margaret discovers a mother she never knew existed: a poet living on the Isle of Skye who in 1912 answered a fan letter from an impetuous young man in Illinois. Without having to worry about appearances or expectations Elspeth and Davey confess their dreams and their worries things they've never told another soul. Even without meeting they know one another. Played out across oceans in peacetime and wartime but most of all through paper and ink Letters from Skye is about the transformative power of a letter - the letter that shouldn't have been sent the letter that is never sent and the letter the reader will keep for ever.
"Alright, so if you're talking about the big hitters, the places where everyone shops in the UK, it's a pretty clear lineup of familiar faces. For your everyday groceries and a bit of everything else, we're definitely talking about the supermarket giants like Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, and Morrisons – they've got pretty much every corner of the country covered and are usually the first port of call for, well, everything! Beyond food, you've got the likes of John Lewis and M&S (Marks & Spencer) for a bit more of an upmarket, reliable choice for clothes, homeware, and quality food too. Then, obviously, you can't forget the colossal presence of Amazon, which, despite being online, is undoubtedly one of the most popular and pervasive 'Letters from Skye stockists' for practically anything you could ever want. And for those budget-friendly bits and bobs, places like B&M Bargains and Home Bargains have really cemented themselves as go-to spots for a wide range of goods without breaking the bank. It's a real mix, but those are definitely the main players you'll see bustling with shoppers! " - Bargainplace UK
