The table is where this island introduces itself. Seafood comes in from the harbour, farm cream goes on everything, and a lunch with neighbours outlasts a tide that has gone out and come back in. Between meals, narrow lanes lead past granite cottages to wide bays, and people stop to chat at every gate.
The climate is oceanic, with mild, damp winters and cool summers, so a jacket belongs in every bag and long evenings outdoors are worth planning for. Spend a day moving between kitchens, cafes and beach huts, and your Local Friend will sit down with you at a table you would not have found on your own.
