Check this out!
Thought I’d start with something different this month. Change never hurt anyone!
You might recognise some of the time-lapses from shots I’ve taken over the winter and put into previous blog posts. The Leopard seal made an entrance into a previous post as well. That’s two videos done on South Georgia now. I’ll start working on a third soon.
I’ve been on the Island over year now and should be getting ready to leave, but I’m staying on until July/August. I thought long and hard about staying on but now watching people pack and get ready to leave I must say I’m glad I’m staying.
I’ll end with a social experiment this month! I was emailed the other week asking to send a postcard to someone in the USofA! I obliged and then had the idea of inviting people to send me stuff and in return receiving something back.
So I invite you to send me something, anything you think I/we might like. I’m not going to ask for anything specific – I’m interested to see what (if anything) arrives!
I WILL send something in return! Whether its a postcard or something more substantial depends on how much comes in. I.E if one thing arrives I’ll send that person something more substantial than a postcard, but if a hundred people send something I’ll be poor after buying 100 postcards and stamps! I might print off one of my pictures or make something in the metal or wood workshops. Who knows, it’s a lottery! Send me something to buy a ticket.

If you don’t want it mentioned in a future post, make a note on it and I’ll respect that. Please don’t send me/us any of the following:
- Tea bags or coffee- we have oodles!
- 12 month Sky Sports subscription- no TV. But we do have a big screen and DVD player…
- A Penguin of any kind, even from John Lewis.
- Plants or seeds. These could be considered an invasive species.
- Condoms – we have lots!
It will be 2015 next time I get a post written, so I’ll sign off by saying Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!
