I’ve finally taken the plunge and started a personal Instagram account, Aly From The Rock 🏝️, where I’ll be sharing a little more of life behind the scenes.

🌱 The ground work starts now! 🌱

We are now closed for the season, so Ground Force is officially in! 🚜😂

After another busy season at Mill Meadows, we’ve started work on some improvements to the campsite ready for 2027.

So, what are we actually doing?

🌱 5 tonnes of sandy topsoil has already been brought in and distributed, with a LOT more planned for the spring.

🚜 The ground is being dug, worked and rolled to help improve the surface and overall condition of the camping areas.

🌿 We’ve created a new cut-through between the fields, which will eventually become a sheltered little chill-out area, somewhere to escape the sun, wind or just the general festival madness!

And this is only the beginning…

We know our ground can be challenging. We’re on clay-based soil, and clay has a mind of its own! It can crack when it’s dry and become very soft when it’s wet. Add in the fact that we’re naturally on a hill, and there are limitations to what we can realistically achieve.

We’re under no illusion that all this work is going to magically transform the campsite overnight. In fact, it might make absolutely no difference at all by next summer! 😳😂

Clay soil is clay soil, the campsite is naturally sloping, and ultimately we can’t control the weather.

But we can control what we do with the ground, and we’re going to give it our best shot.

No promises, no guarantees… just a lot of hard work and a genuine attempt to make things better.

There’s plenty more planned over the winter and into spring, and we’ll share the progress as we go.

Mill Meadows 2027 is already taking shape — and this is just the beginning. 💚

😢 This is really sad news for our island.

The Isle of Wight Asian Hornet Team are an incredible group of volunteers who work tirelessly to protect our island from Asian Hornets — helping to safeguard our precious biodiversity, wildlife and, of course, our honeybees. 🐝❤️

This is something I NEED you all to do for me. 🙏

📱 Please download the Asian Hornet Watch app and report any suspected sightings.

That’s it. You don’t need to identify it, catch it or deal with it yourself.

See it → report it → let the experts take over.

The amazing volunteer team will deal with the rest. 💪🐝

It takes just a couple of minutes to download the app, but reporting a sighting could make a huge difference to protecting our island.

Please share this post too — let’s get as many Isle of Wight eyes looking out for these unwelcome visitors as possible. 👀🐝

Our island. Our bees. Our biodiversity. Let’s protect them. 💚

The Isle of Wight’s first credible sighting of an Asian hornet has been recorded in Cowes, triggering an urgent search for a nest by the IW Asian Hornet team. Photographic evidence confirmed the presence of the

The day the music died 😢
Thank you for everything.
‘In Dolly we trust’ 💕

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
