Summary Rick heads to the Scilly archipelago, the Cornish westernmost British islands, a subtropical paradise, yet only five are inhabited, only reached by boat and connected by 'water taxi'. He starts admiring the old-fashioned crab and lobster trap wicker making by local fisherman Jog, who hopes to reduce plastic waste. The climate is ideal for a world class plants collection, but the local bees are suffering from season difference and inbreeding, so a project is cross-breeding with a sturdier Cornish bee. Finally forts, manly from the Cromwellian era, and an old man's museum for the extraordinary numerous shipwrecks near the Scilly waters full of rocks, including a celebrated admiral's flagship and three more returning from a triumphant Mediterranean campaign. He celebrates with a super-sweet cake with butterscotch, using local honey.
