Today is Dad’s birthday so I can finally reveal the chippy shop project that I did back in June/July. Below is one of the chairs put together the other is flat packed in four parts ready to be boxed up to go back to the UK. Unfortunately for Dad he won’t get them till next May as that is when the ship will arrive from here next season!

I should explain – Dad has been wanting some Adirondack chairs for quite some years. So I collected many pieces of driftwood dried them in the boiler rooms and then milled them down.

Ali took this photo for me – enjoying the sun on the wharf after a skin round to Grytviken on Thursday.

Happy Birthday Dad you are the best father in the world!
