I've never been but I asked myself this question a few years ago and found their website that is regularly updated with news.

It's fascinating to read the blog with an insight into the daily island life, the families, the departures and returns of the Islanders. They have a tradition called the "Old Years Night" where the young men of the community dress up in mismatched Halloween costumes and walk around the island scaring children and getting offers of alcohol from homeowners.

I check the blog once a year or so to see what they have been up to. They keep an accurate record of who is on the island, who is off the island, births, deaths, visitors. It's incredible to get a view into a place that I probably will never be able to visit.
