What a good time to go interactive!
For the first time, Island Life
is available online at www.
visitislandlife.com. Not only can
you read the magazine on the web,
we are also offering something
extra. See our new logos, and
read how they work on Page 6.
Each issue we will enable you
to access a filmed interview
which runs alongside a printed
version, and the first one is
with Bob Bridgestock, senior
detective turned author, who
has a great story to tell.
Elsewhere on the pages our
historians Jan Toms and June
Elford explore Carisbrooke and
Newport respectively; we visit
some gifted youngsters, and
meet those with ambitions and
energy that can only benefit the
Isle of Wight. In his Countryside
section, Tony Ridd reports on the
annual hedgelaying competition;
on the Gilten market and dinner;
and he visits the lovely lambs on
Matt Legge’s Newport farm.
We hope you enjoy reading this,
our 26th Issue of Island Life.
