We arrived in early August73 as very young newly weds. What a fabulous 27 month honeymoon. We returned to a very cold UK in November75 both having enjoyed our time. The best draft ever. I spent the first year in Tombeau, whilst living in a rented bungalow close to Vacaos [outside the base], and the second year+ as TARE Watchkeeper in the Comcen [POREL]. We moved into a base Flat just in time for Gervaise’s visit. What a wet and windy Thursday !

With our trusty Rover 90 we had the time to experience much of the island’s magic. It is amazing to think nearly forty years have flown… our regards to all. We have enjoyed viewing your posted pictures and memories. Please find a few more for the pot: (Thanks for the pics M&T!)
