We are so lucky on this Island, with the dramatic arts, the galleries of talented painters and potters, the fabric artists presentations, the music concerts and live venues, at Harbour House Hotel, at Moby's, at Treehouse, at Fulford Pub. It's the "shoulder season", the supposedly less busy time on the Island, but there's lots to see and to do, and it's world-class calibre. Lucky us! No excuse to mope about winter...a full plate of great activities is there for our enjoyment.
