Holidaymakers are a vital and welcome part of the economy here, and a high percentage of the local population is now made up of 'outsiders' (like myself) in any case. Whether opportunistic or, as suspected by the police, organised, this crime does not have the 'obvious' motive you suggest.Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055924620237477722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684094023681819935.post-18916693092852496692009-05-09T07:46:00.000+01:002009-05-09T07:46:00.000+01:00The obvious answer to why is probably some local p...The obvious answer to why is probably some local people don't like "outsiders".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684094023681819935.post-5501564479801029382009-05-08T20:02:00.000+01:002009-05-08T20:02:00.000+01:00How horrible.

I have memories of sheltering in a friend's beach hut here and the thought of such spiteful destruction is really saddening.colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484411878651364981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684094023681819935.post-79787704417022498572009-05-07T15:28:00.000+01:002009-05-07T15:28:00.000+01:00Just mindless.

How disheartening for the owners and for everyone who has been cheered by the sight of the huts, whether walking on your island or visiting your blog.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.com
