A WORD FROM THE EDITOR
T
he sun might not have
had his hat on much this
summer – but party-loving
Islanders certainly have! Despite
some grey skies, the social scene
has been as busy as ever – and our
photographers have been out and
about capturing magical moments
from all the most colourful
gatherings, parties and charity
events.
THE ISLAND LIFE TEAM
All of which makes for a bumper
high summer issue, bursting
with pictures of everything from
glamorous Royal Ascot to a Class of
’92 reunion.
But don’t worry - you’ll also
find plenty to read! We have
entertaining interviews with
Bestival founder Rob Da Bank,
hypnotherapist and chauffeur
to celebrities, Den Clare – and
HAVE A GOOD STORY?
