We have worked hard, and so have the people on Baron's Island. We have managed to get a positive reply to our invitations from 260 members of the clan..., who are older than the required 12 years." My God, it's going to be a really big event. But that's an incredible number of people to cater for on a little island." Alyssia was really stunned by the size of the project."Oh, yes, dear. We have all felt more or less like generals planning an invasion. Carpenters from the surrounding islands have. So if you keep an open mind and go with the flow, you’ll do fine and make money.
