Scanning through today's Times I came a cross and article about a work blogger - Life at the end of the road: The trial and tribulations of an accidental crofter.

Anyone island-hopping from Skye to the island of Raasay this Easter - if they can drag their eyes from the scenery - should look out for one particular employee of Caledonian Macbrayne, the ferry operator, with a serious twinkle in his eye and a camera in his pocket.
Paul Camilli, the motor man on board the boat that shuttles between Sconser and Raasay, is no traditional Skye boatman.
For one thing, he comes from Accrington.
For another, he has become, quite unintentionally, an internet hit with his remarkable daily blog, Life At the End of the Road.
On it, he posts the illustrated tales and travails of the little ferry, along with the story of his remote croft on the northern tip of Raasay, where he and his family nurture pigs, hens and an elderly Land Rover.
Mr Camilli does, by almost every measure, have a rather wonderful job.
Sometimes the rain is like a power washer, but often he has the sun on his face and the mountains soaring above his head.
And that speck in the sky above him is usually an eagle...
See Boatman makes waves with his blog from Raasay.
