Subject: RE: FolkStation- Isle of Wight Folk Festival
I'm told that there are red squirrels on the Isle of Wight - is that so? Are there any living near Folkstation?

I'm also told that Tennyson wrote Crossing The Bar while looking out across the Solent, which suggests he may have thought the Almighty lived on the Isle as well:

'I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the Bar.'
