This will be a short note, given our schedule there really isn’t much time for more. In my next lull I’m planning to describe a day in a safari camp but this will have to suffice until then…

When last heard from I was leaving Buenos Aires and on my way home, returning from Antartica and South Georgia Island in March. In the intervening months the Covid menace has stepped down from the headlines and we are all infinitely sadder but not noticeably wiser. The vast multitudes of Covid deniers with their heads…

This is a very long overdue post, my last being from New York in December 2016. The worst of getting behind is the difficulty of beginning afresh, there are always reasons to put it off and the problem compounds. 2017 was a good year, trips to Bhutan, Thailand, France, Tobago and Bequia but now it’s…
