These are pictures taken by Katie which I am in – bit of a photo diary because I have been a bit lazy with my blog of late!

Painting team this last weekend at the hut it started to rain so we wrapped the recently painted area in a tarp!

View from the stern of the jet boats to Grytviken (the boats can go 30 knots).

The fisheries patrol vessel leaving with the old winterers shrouded in orange smoke flares. Just before christmas.

Aboard the cruise ship we got hurriedly taken off of when the wind came up.

Tommy Katie and I went for a great walk from base to pinnacle pass than traversed round to echo pass it was a beautiful day for it.

Most of the base went to help Alastair weighing seal pups.

Sam, Katie and myself sorted out the years worth of food in the freezer (-20) in a way that means you can see what is there and not freeze trying to find it!
