Launching the island

Nobody can be an island, but most people can have one, though they may have to build it, and for that you will need a lake of some sort, and you can build a sort of lake too, which I did... .and today I launched the (Norman Island) for the season, after pruning back the willow trees and restoring the cottage, which had been vandalized by a Goose who nested there when I wasn't looking.
