February brings freezing temperatures but unique opportunities to the islanders too: Mini McCusker leaps into the sea - as she does every day - on the high spring tide, while some hours later Dave Scott the shepherd takes the afternoon off with his wife Estelle to go ormering, the pursuit of a huge shellfish only findable on the low spring tide.

The island is abuzz with a forthcoming talent competition - Sark's Got Talent - in aid of charity, which sees a huge turnout and an eclectic range of acts, with children's choirs, solo vocalists, stand-up comedy and a man dressed as a chicken clucking the theme to Match of the Day. But away from all this, Methodist lay preacher Karen Le Mouton is juggling huge demands as she seeks to clear the final hurdle to being accepted for ordination whilst her mother lies terminally ill at home.
