Guernsey

At Michelin starred chef Shaun Rankin's kitchen Inferno event, two teams of novice chefs battled it out over the ovens, raising money for Jersey Cheshire Home as they cooked up a storm.

There is no such thing as a usual day for 25-year-old Natalie Grainger. The former Guernsey resident is a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy and has a tour of Afghanistan under her belt, flying the Sea King MK4.

The Blue Islands appreal to raise money for the Channel Islands Air Search aircraft which was badly damaged during a rescue mission in November has raised a staggering £25,932.70.

The addition of the new ATR-72-500 aircraft brings with it a significantly enhanced service for passengers travelling between Guernsey and Southampton.
