This is my new home, and I am unashamedly in love with it. There is of course always a but.... the people on the island, cant drive...reflected in the accident statistics... the roads are not suitable for 70mph due to the condition of the roads. The idea of not blocking a junction is lost on them which causes the most stupid congestion.... I do actually believe the council are in many ways guilty since they dont up date the juntion markings which have often faded to invisibility. The island is in danger from the cuts as well...they want to close way to many libraries and is currently being challenged in the courts. They also have messed up the schools.
I think this is a great place to shop, but we are reliant on stuff coming across on ferry. This means we are further held hostage to the outrageous cost of travel to the island.
I am delighted that there is a lack of big shopping malls, there is a proper high street culture. There are real green grocers, butchers and fishshops...supreme.
The County Press, is a good paper and informative. What it tells us is that crime is they same every where.
It is an island that has an elderly population, but there is a life for young people if they care to look for it. Move forward.
I shall be writing regularly now.
