In this episode Kylie and Erica interview Jessie Guilliatt about her journey to the Isles of Scilly, working at Salakee Farm, how island life became her home and what she will miss when she leaves.

Jessie recounts a rough first ferry crossing, helping build a market garden, and the push to provide food during the pandemic.

They explore island traditions, rowing, winter rhythms, unique island moments (from whale encounters to farm accidents), and the trade-offs of living somewhere remote and historic versus a life in the city full of culture and diversity.
