It’s new issue day tomorrow and there’s lots of great features in store this week!
Neil McAllister took a trip to the Isles of Scilly, the most southerly point in the United Kingdom. An archipelago 25 miles off the coast of Cornwall, these islands just a short journey away make for the perfect holiday destination.
Neil and his wife firstly explored St Mary’s, the largest of the islands, where they discovered sandy beaches and sampled the island’s local produce.
Neil and Hazel also made their way around the nearby islands of Tresco and St Martins. The islands provided stunning scenery, tropical plants, red squirrels, a great hospitality scene and several thriving businesses. Read Neil’s piece in this week’s issue for all the details of their trip.

Our Alex spoke to Kerry Irving about his “miracle dog”, Max the spaniel. After an accident left Kerry housebound, he rapidly lost his confidence and was unable to do anything for himself.
One day on a rare venture outside, Kerry met Max. Max quickly became a lifeline for Kerry, accompanying him wherever he went. Read about how the friendship between Max and Kerry blossomed in this week’s issue.
