Signing off from the Falklands ...

Well that's it, we are going offline on Thursday ready for our journey back to the UK and onwards after that. It has been a good posting here in the South Atlantic and we have enjoyed lots of aspects of it, like having family time, relaxed pace of life and small community. But I would not be easily persuaded to come and live here for good, the wind is simply exhausting and the lack of stimulation can be a bit strange at times. Plus the distance from friends and family can make a person feel a little excluded from their loved ones.

One of the last trips around the islands was to Saunders Island at the weekend with Grandma where we saw 3 species of penguin, black-browed albatrosses and lots of other bird life. Now I feel I can say I have been everywhere I want to see here. Been there, got the t-shirt, big tick! So in the words of Mr Tumble, it's time to say TTFN, ta-ra, bye bye, arrivederci!
