ISLAND LIFE Editor's letter THE ISLAND'S FAVOURITE LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE View seven years of back issues at: www.visitislandlife.com Welcome to this latest edition of your FREE Island Life, the first of 2013. We start the year by bringing you an exclusive interview with actor Julian Wadham, who has close connections with the Island, and has appeared in such film classics as ‘The English Patient’ and ‘The Iron Lady’, as well as a host of TV and stage productions. Bembridge-based Commander Roy Hollis was 95 when he sadly died recently. Roy fought in four wars including World War II, and just before he suddenly passed away I spoke to him about his amazing life at sea. I would like to thank his family for allowing us to produce my interview as a tribute to him. We also talk to Island NFU chairperson Caroline Knox, and go behind the scenes with the chief of the IW Ambulance Service Chris Smith, and Sgt Dave Sanderson, head of the IW Roads Policing team. Mark King reveals that there is a new Level 42 album on the horizon, the first the iconic Island band have made for seven years. And of course there are all the usual features including motoring, health and beauty, food and drink, countryside, gardening and much more. So enjoy your favourite lifestyle magazine, and please support our loyal advertisers who make it all possible. Peter White Editor www.visitislandlife.com 5
