It’s been a while since I worked in the garden as we have away on a 30 day expedition to Antarctica. The garden has gone crazy, there are weeds everywhere, but it was worth it!
As I haven’t been doing any gardening, I thought that I would share some of the highlights of my trip with you…
We travelled 4,915 nautical miles (9,102km), spent 9 full days at sea, saw 62 species of birds and 17 species of marine mammals.

What an amazing adventure it must have been loved seeing all the awesome photos our love to all E & R
You are both so very inspirational! Loved the photos, felt the “chill” and got an urge to go there. Probably never will, so thank you Karyn and Paul, for sharing your adventures.
