It's essentially a private estate, leased from Prince Charles by the Dorrien-Smith family. The boss lives in a fantastic huge old Abbey just above the pond/lake southmost in the pic and we peasants live in the 'town' north of the upper pond/lake. No cars allowed. No visiting dogs. No crime. Our doors are never locked. One pub. Two restaurants. A shop. Loads of boats. l know every fuckers business and everyone knows mine. l also have the only band on the island for the last ten years - Dogs of Samson, and we play as you can guess, none offensive covers. It's perfect if you want to escape the rat race of a big city or even large town.
l have a 3 bedroom cottage that comes with my job so l don't pay rent, just bills and cunting council tax. l come from and grew up in Australia, but summer is way too hot for me there, a good English summer is perfect.
And yes we have 'superfast broadband' and Amazon, and Tesco delivers via freight boat. sweet.
