it's not too far off right like it doesn't sound so outlandish that it couldn't be true which is what I like about it and there are tiny islands in the Scottish Hebrides that are a little bit like Amberley where some of the ideas came from where there really is just a ferry twice a week and if you miss it or if there's a storm you're not getting on and off the island and the same with the doctor I remember reading about this tiny island where
