The VERY Best News

Today I can write some news that I have been bursting to write for quite some time. A new helicopter service will return to the islands. Robert Dorian Smith has announced that he will be behind this new service which will see the return of this Lifeline Service to Scilly. More details will be emerging over the next few days and weeks but the service will run from Penzance and it will be an all year service. I will be posting much more information on these pages as time goes on but will finish this morning with a picture of the sunrise and the aircraft that will be winging it's way back to Scilly in the not too distant future. tg

Country File in the Telegraph

For well over 30 years my dear friend Robin Page has been the sensible voice of the countryside...but no longer. For some inextricable reason the powers within the Weekend Telegraph have seen fit to request his services no more! What shortsighted thinking has made this unthinkable move? What editorial meeting made this ridiculous decision to silence the voice of reason that has kept us reading this fascinating column week after week for so many years? The Weekend Telegraph has just one reader and I'm sure that there will be many more like me who put with all the crap that a weekend paper has to bare just to read the words of wisdom from Mr Page. Will there be a change of heart? I doubt it very much. Will there be a backlash? I very much hope so..in the meanwhile RobInPage
and no more Weekend Telegraph from me.
