Thought 'Countryfile' was great advert for your isle, no wonder you emigrated. Keep it as it is.

Thanks Bernie, I had missed it.

Yes Ninian I did see the programme, it included some lovely pictures of the island.There has been some very positive TV coverage recently. I hope that it boosts the tourism levels, there aren't many people here currently, but the weather has been absolutely awful of late. I hope your wife enjoyed here recent trip here. All the best to you.

Andy

I didn't see the TV programme but I heard Mark Steel today on Radio 4 - he was taking a sideways glance at the Island. I found parts of it very amusing.
I really like the Island so hope that the inhabitants don't feel he did them a disservice.

Hi andy,yes she really had enjoyable visit, fortunate with the weather as we were in Scotland.She was bit miffed waiting outside Cosy Cafe for you. Sometimes think programmes like that give better outlook of places rather than outright tourism 'plugs'.

Yes you are right they tend to have a more rounded approach. Sorry I missed your missus but we might have walked next to each other without even knowing! That's the funny thing about this forum.
