A WORD FROM THE EDITOR
everything from treasure to trinkets.
Det. Insp. Floyd Higginson, based
at Newport, reveals how crime
investigation on the Island has
changed under his leadership, and
we talk to rheumatologist Mark
Pugh about trying to ease the
burden of arthritis.
The Island’s social scene figures
prominently, and there are all the
usual features including gardening,
food and drink, motoring, health
Christmas and New Year are just
around the corner so in this final
edition of 2014, we are giving
readers an insight into some of the
festive traditions – from Christmas
plants to puddings and mince pies
to crackers!
There are around 2,000
shipwrecks around the Island, and
in a special two-part interview I
speak to Martin Woodward, who has
dived on 600 of them, discovering
THE ISLAND LIFE TEAM
and beauty, equestrian and
countryside. So sit back, enjoy, have
a Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year, and our thanks to all the loyal
advertisers who make it all possible
so please
continue
to support
them.
