Welcome to the latest edition of
Island Life, the Island’s leading
lifestyle magazine.
In this bumper edition we
talk to Mrs Ursula Thompson,
who nearly became an innocent
victim of the Second World War,
but thanks to the bravery of her
mother lived to tell this amazing
story.
We also go behind the scenes
at Quarr Abbey, and talk to
Father Luke about life as a
Benedictine monk. Former
National Hunt jockey racing
commentator Brough Scott has
brought an intriguing book by
his grandfather Jack Seeley up
to date, detailing the heroics of
the Island’s own ‘War Horse’,
Warrior during the First World
War. We have spoken to Brough
about the adventures, and have
also taken a final look behind the
scenes at Osborne House, which
is ready for the new summer
season.
There is focus on many of the
Island’s leading social events,
as well as our usual features on
Food and Drink, Health and
Beauty, Motoring, On the Water,
Gardening and Countryside.
Enjoy this latest complimentary
copy of your favourite magazine,
and please support our loyal
advertisers who help make it all
possible.
