Island Life Magazine Ltd June/July 2011 | Page 5

The Editor The height of summer is fast approaching and we hope we are making it an even more special time with this latest complimentary copy of Island Life, Issue No36. Inside this edition there is an exclusive interview with world-famous yachtswoman Dame Ellen MacArthur on how she is riding the crest of a wave with her new challenges away from sailing. We have also been speaking to opera star Lesley Garrett on her ‘love at first sight’ trip to the Island, and how she cannot wait to come back. High-flying Chris Sandell tells readers about the amazing stunts he was involved in for TV when he became a hot air balloon pilot. Leading Island showjumper Jodie Warrick reveals why she decided to stay here rather than seek further glory on the mainland, while farming character Howard Johnson gives an amusing insight into his life in the first of a two-part series. Plus all the usual favourites, including health and beauty and motoring. So enjoy this edition, and please continue to support our loyal advertisers.
