Kristine Taylor is the island’s local chiropodist. She moved to the Isles of Scilly in 1979 but had visited the islands since she was a new born baby.
She camped with her family on Bryher every summer.
After Kris married her husband Geoff she went to live in Newport South Wales where her oldest daughter Francesca was born.
Kris and her husband moved to Bryher when her daughter was 1 year old and took over a farm on the island. Her sister Marian was married to Keith Bennett on Bryher. Since then Kris has had 2 other daughters.
Six years ago she trained as a chiripodist and this winter has started a surgery on St Mary’s two days a week. She has now been accepted for registration with the Health Professions Council.
Kris is a member of the Women’s Institute and enjoys walking and meeting friends.
She says the best thing about Scilly is “what we haven’t got.”
