Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

Not so rare I'm afraid. Last year in California I saw plenty, of all nationalities. Several around here too.

What are you doing in the Falklands in the middle of winter?

Gwyn. The 29th June is hardly the middle of winter. We called in there as one of the ports of call on a round Britain cruise. We normally go to warmer climes but we thought we'd do this one for a change. You may have seen my photos of a mountain pass and a glacier in Norway from May when we went on a fjords cruise. That was still winter but with glorious sunshine.
CHEERS Vic.

Last I looked, the Falkland Islands were in the south Atlantic, making June midwinter.

I need a brain transplant. Any offers considered. Even a half one would be better than the one I've got just now. Gwyn must think me a right idiot.

Not at all Vic. We all have brainfarts on occasion.

Maybe the Falklands will be your next cruise .
