Living and working in the Falklands, taking photos, reading books and writing blogs. Lover of ancient places, beautiful churches, new places to travel, contemporary design and rational politics.
Announcing new #Falklands bank notes, released later this year. I think the new designs are quite nice - this is the £5 note featuring, amongst other things, a pale maiden flower. I happen to know that the Financial Secretary spent some time perfecting his signature for these! What do you think?

With the seasons reversed in the southern hemisphere, I took this snowy photo of Christ Church Cathedral and the Whalebone Arch in the Falklands back in July. But it feels appropriate for Christmas Day! Wishing everyone the best Christmas season - joy, peace and hope. Be not afraid, God is with us.

With it being so close to midsummer and also full moon, it didn't really get dark last night. The local police took these photos whilst on nighttime patrol. Not quite the Simmer Dim of Shetland, but our version of it! Nessun dorma in the #Falklands (unless you have blackout blinds).

We've got a live one! Although the #Falklands was declared minefield free in 2020 we still come across unexploded ordinance from the 1982 conflict. There's a specialist team who deal with it, supported by local police. What Three Words is used to let everyone know where to avoid.

For #SuperSeabirdSunday here are some magellanic penguins swimming happily along the shore in the Falkland Islands. This group are about to come home for the night after a day out fishing.
