Come fly with me

Hi everyone

As promised here are a few pics from my visit to the St Helena Airport site. As most of you know, I am not a technical kind of girl, so updates on the airport progress can be found here

A big thank you to Basil Read for an enjoyable tour!

Cannot believe I am half way through my 6 months career break.
As you can see I am still enjoying blue skies!

Diana's Peak

Diana’s Peak National Park covers 81 hectares. Tree Fern, Black Cabbage, Dogwood, Whitewood and Cabbage Trees dominate the vegetation of the Peaks.

The National Park is home to many different types of invertebrates; most common are the Golden Sail Spider, The Blushing Snail and Weevil. Unfortunately I did not get an opportunity to photograph any of these!

Bringing to you the landscapes and flora from Diana’s Peak National Park:

My Jacobs Ladder Challenge

Jacobs Ladder is a 699 step unevenly cut rock staircase dominating the sloping cliffs of Jamestown. The steps are around 30 centimeters high and the same wide.

I used Jacobs Ladder frequently during my time at senior school. It was the quickest way to get into Jamestown after school.

Yesterday, I wanted to prove to myself that many years later I could still do it!
