Welcome to Loxsley Island! The island is governed by Lord Devereaux, who is often away on the mainland due to business, as is his wife who often accompanies him. They have three children- a son and two daughters; Adrien, their son, has just finished at university and has returned to learn how to run the island. Loxsley Island is a great tourist resort during the summer, and the only hotel is usually packed and the beach is always very popular. The time when these events occur is early twentieth century, and the fashions range between 1920s flappers, the 1930s curvy silks and the 1940s practical chic. Enjoy your stay!

[ ]The Golden Oak
The Golden Oak is the only pub in the village, and therefore offers the finest ale, cider and mead on the whole of the island and is always full as soon as work is finished. Yet it is a well scrubbed and respectable establishment that Lord Devereaux always visits on his way through back from business on the mainland.

[ ]Sacred Hill Church
Sacred Hill church was built in 1445, and is very old, but thanks to acts of charity and patronage from the Devereaux family, it has been full restored. Made of gray stone with a flint and slate roof, the stained glass windows stand out almost garishly, their colours bright and inviting. The church is always packed on a sunday, and also at weddings and funerals and christenings. It is often the most sociable place in the village.

Above the shop there is a four-room apartement for the Ainsley siblings. Underit the building is much more interesting with large windows which allow window-shopping. One can see some of the latest designs of Cecillia Ainsley. Inside, it is heaven for the ladies. Numerous materials and colours take up one wall, there are also already finished gowns with smaller accessories. Behind the counter a door leads to the back room which is the working room where Anastasia, Cecillia and their helpers work on their masterpieces.
