Island Life

Cancelled shows, dumped shrubbery, a near-death experience and the grizzly discovery of bones at the bottom of a well – all stories we carried 50 years ago, when the use of AI in a headline was a reference to artificial insemination. Simon De La Rue continues his series looking back at our most parched Guernsey summer – the drought of 1976.

The work of local artist Louise Le Pelley is now on display in the reception and working rooms of the French Consulate in London, after being accepted into its rolling programme of exhibitions.
