Katelyn: Accountant supermarket manager need a paper written by a human resources expert Issy now runs Samson Hill Cottage down the lane (nowhere is very far on Bryher), and also manages the festival with the Tresco marketing manager Alasdair Moore. She told me over tea in her garden (equipped with a wood-burning oven for twice-weekly pizza sales) that after spending a few years on the mainland as a BBC producer, she’d come back and “was shocked at how much there was here, food-wise”. Why did she and Moore decide to start a festival? “It’s great to be able to meet the fisherman who caught your lobster or the farmer who reared your beef. But it also helps change the one-dimensional perception of the islands as a bucket-and-spade destination.”
