This is my chance to post an Antarctic blog!!
The card pictured below arrived today:
sent on 30 December, it is postmarked from Halley Bay:
And note the special BAS stamp.
As a footnote, readers may remember a previous blog which described, as one of the dangerous sports on offer, being towed behind a skidoo on skis (like waterskiing). Well, I hear that the inevitable has happened: someone fell off and broke his arm. Apparently, if you get hurt on non-work related activities and can’t work – you don’t get paid. So he’s working with the other hand!
Who was it from? do you have an admirer? :love:
Well, if that’s the case the Valentine card won’t arrive until March!
I see the stamp says airmail. I wonder if it went airmail all the way.
Yes it was air mail all the way. We’ve had a couple of planes in recently and a sack of mail always goes off with them. 😉
