Just a little way from Steep Holm (which belongs to England) is Flat Holm (which belongs to Wales). I love this video that the Flat Holm people have put up, which reminds me very much of Sweetholm (which belongs to neither, but owes much to both), the setting of Calypso Dreaming:

I put some Jacob sheep on Sweetholm, but watching this makes me wish I'd sprinkled it with a few Tamworths too.

I said I'd try to do a more extensive write-up of my Steep Holm day. This isn't exactly that, and there's quite a bit I've left out, but here at least are more photographs, which I've blended with some of the poems I wrote on the day (and just after). Hopefully it will "give you the feel", as Wordsworth was so fond of saying off-mike. There's a lot more to Steep Holm than the military, of course, but this set seems to have coagulated around that theme.
