There are those fortunate people who thrive on the dual challenge of making themselves at home and securing a simple living, almost anywhere in our varied and beautiful world.
A substantial portion of the attraction that ‘Anywheres’ experience for their itinerant lives depends heavily upon the singularity of a complimentary way of life of the more stable ‘Somewheres’ who welcome them, however briefly the Anywheres choose to remain among them.
Without the customs and the traditions, the sense of place and belonging, the dependability and the comfortable and comforting cohesion of the cohesive Somewheres, the enjoyment that the Anywheres experience would be that much less, perhaps limited only to the accident of topography, climate and language.
In ‘The Sunny Side of the Alps’, Anywheres Roy Clark and his partner Justi exchange the novelty and beauty they had found and enjoyed for several years in the unique and unfashionable way of life in the Scottish Highlands for a different but likewise unusual and unfashionable way of life in the equally mountainous land of Slovenia.
With, on the whole, understanding and a gentle kindness, Roy Clark narrates the Anywheres’ sense of exploratory surprise, frustration and delight as he and his partner and their pet collie explore and experience a part of Europe whose beauty and dignity has only relatively recently been brought to the attention of the West.
