The Editor

We would like to welcome all our readers to the latest
edition of Island Life, the Island’s leading lifestyle
magazine.
We think you will agree it’s another bumper
publication, bringing you the best of what is
happening across the Island. There is an exclusive
interview with the fabulous Celia Imrie, one of this
country’s finest comedy and drama actresses, who has
a home in Cowes.
Dr. Paul Hooper, who practiced in Newport for
more than 30 years, gives an interesting insight into
his work in the Far East during the Korean War. Then
there’s farmer Fred Colson, who calls himself the
‘village idiot’ – but don’t you believe it!
There is focus on many of the Island’s leading events,
including Somerton Cross-country, the Annual IW
Ploughing Match and the Hurricanes Rugby Club’s
50th anniversary celebrations. Toby Beasley, head
gardener at Osborne House, has joined our team, and
writes his first column on life behind the scenes in the
gardens of one of the Island’s most famous properties.
We also catch up with controversial funny man
Freddie Starr, shortly to appear at Shanklin Theatre,
who tells us how he is back to his best after five lost
years and a quadruple heart bypass. All that, and
much more including Equestrian, Countryside, Food
and Drink, Health and Beauty and car
reviews.
So enjoy this latest complimentary
copy of your favourite magazine, and
please support our loyal advertisers
who help make it all possible.
