Double lives
Events like the sing-along are the only kind of nightlife on the island. «There are no pubs and no shops. But there is a post office,» Mitchell said.
Keeping the island’s infrastructure going requires everyone to pitch in; most of the island’s residents have multiple jobs. One works at the school and is a fireman at the airport; another manages the post office and gives tours of the island to visitors. And all of them own at least a handful of animals, mostly sheep.
