Island of Solitude

Well glad to see you English speaking traveller here !

    Sometimes does not suffice silent places in the vanity of life.
Where it is possible quietly to be given in a solitude, to dream, to think, or simply to devote itself favorite hobby.

    As you probably already have noticed the given ground absolutely recently has arisen from chasm of ocean under the name Internet. Proceeding from this it practically non home-like and is absolutely desert. But I hope gradually by my efforts, and not without your help and support it becomes blossoming and inhabitable.
