Practice

Part one of the wedding shoot…the rehearsal. We left the boys reading in bed with instructions to turn off their lights when the buzzer went; Nick dropped me off at the chapel and then proceeded to bible study. The rehearsal was great – as the photographer I got to contribute ideas and arrange people. I have complete liberty to move around and boss people about on Saturday – it’s going to be great!! (And when I got home at 8.30 both boys were sound asleep with their books neatly closed and stowed.)

And...still more Ascension photos (there are lots to come still). Nick started one of his walks at the golf course where he parked the car, headed for a swimming beach called Comfortless Cove. I can confidently say that St Helena has a more appealing golf course (the greens are actually green).

On the way he visited some 'rubbish or ruins' - depending on one's opinion of these World War II fuel storage tanks. Some people feel they should be removed and discarded while others see them as historical artifacts.

The area is bristling with communications devices and equipment - radio transmitters and wires and cables are rampant.

Barren but beautiful - this is a side view of the slope of one of the Three Sisters.

At last, the long walk was reward with a swim in Comfortless Cove. The rope prevents swimmers from being swept out to sea - there are strong undercurrents.

Behind the cove is a small graveyard, where the victims of a yellowfever outbreak were quarantined and subsequently buried.
