ReplyDeleteHi Jo-Ann - it's always interesting to see these ... but could I say I understand that Britain has over 6,000 islands ... I wrote about them in the A-Z of 2014 ... not to worry. Bishop's Rock is a guide for shipping coming over the Atlantic Ocean ... and is the smallest island with a building on it - a lighthouse. Thanks for reminding me about it ... and for the Cornish connection - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI'm moving to Bishop's Rock... if it has a Maccas...
