ferries being cancelled could say marooned except I never leave our small isle these days and unlike Robinson Crusoe I do not look out for a ships sail on the horizon to come rescue me ( Defoe in fact felt marooned in society and never went anywhere near a remote island, it was his 'alone in a crowd' syndrome that was at the heart of the inspired writing of Robinson Crusoe) I am a seconded hardly ever seen anomaly happy to be forgotten by the World.
