Well, itβs got a castle on it and the castle didnβt look very big in the picture. And we couldnβt see the edges of the island. So it might be small but itβs not tiny.

I find it irritating when people follow me just so that Iβll follow them. Iβm not talking about someone with a shared interest even if we donβt know each other, but people with 10s of 1000s of people that they follow and nothing obviously in common with me.οΏΌ It takes the social out of social media.οΏΌ
