THE
ISLAND'S
FAVOURITE
LIFESTYLE
MAGAZINE

Welcome to the latest FREE
edition of Island Life, in which
we feature two high profile ladies
with strong Island connections.
As an MP serving under Prime
Ministers Margaret Thatcher and
John Major, Virginia Bottomley
was one of the most powerful
women in British politics. But
away from the fast lane, Virginia,
now Baroness Bottomley of
Nettlestone in the House of
Lords, has some fascinating
stories about her Island
upbringing.
Then there is Dianne
Thompson, a lady we would

all love to meet. Dianne, who
has a home in West Wight, is
chief executive of Camelot, and
is responsible for handing over
those massive cheques to lucky
lottery winners.
We also delve into the history
of Island horse racing, and of
course there are all the usual
features including food and
drink, health and beauty,
gardening, and much more.
So enjoy the Island’s leading
lifestyle magazine, and please
support out advertisers who help
make this FREE copy possible.
