Island living
When you hear someone mention island living, the image that most often comes to mind is white beaches, palm trees, sunshine, and deep blue seas. For some, this seems like an idyllic life in a tropical island paradise. For others of us, however, our island paradise is a little different, but no less beautiful, in its own way.
Life in the Channel Islands may not seem like paradise to some, but for the rest of us, it is home. The main differences about the Channel Islands are the lack of palm trees and the tropical climate!
