Christmas is a time when many women feel a bit threatened, especially if they have failed their domestic goddess exams, like me.

Another month, and another island location for our sofa. This month it’s a well earned sit down and feet up for Stuart Hardie, the 65 year old islander who’s just completed an incredible 40 marathons in 40 days.
