Christmas went with a bang as usual in the Islands, Carol singers donned their woollies, churchgoers readied their voices and Bellies were prepared for the vast indulgences so often incurred!
There were church services on every Island over the festive period and in addition, carol singers made their way around sections of he islands, braving the bitterly cold Christmas Eve weather.
Radio Scilly valiantly broadcast through Christmas day, providing the entertainment while travel companies saw a mass immigration of visitors to the islands, many of which were families or friends of the locals.
One Couple, Piers and Rachel Lewin of St. Agnes, had one very special Christmas present. Their first child, Loveday Elizabeth Lewin was born on Boxing Day in Treliske hospital, Truro, after being flown out on Christmas day.
One other was less fortunate this Christmas: Chris Evans was flown out to Treliske by helicopter after breaking his ankle whilst playing football on Boxing Day morning.
The Scilly News team extend their Christmas greeting to all our visitors and hope you will look out for our review of the year coming up before the end of the year.
