I was totally enchanted by this week's episode and really feel I could live in the community Ben visited. The beauty of the island and the supportive group of almost people, mostly women, who lived a spare and monastic type without the religious implications seemed idyllic to me. Did anyone else see the show and what did you think?

Grrrr the 'almost' shouldn't be there of course and 'type' should read life.

And now this post is appearing twice. There was some kind of 'blip' in the system and up two came! I've reported this and asked for one to be removed. Sorry to have caused a kerfuffle.

Yes I watched the program, mainly because we've visited the island. I'd love to spend some time in a retreat like that, but not sure about a permanent stay.

Love these programmes ….I’d love to stay on an island like that, for a few weeks only. It’ seems like hard work and at my age, not recommended.?

I really enjoyed this particular episode...I'd also love to have a 'short' stay there...
