Here we are now at the end of summer. The mess has been reconfigured, the rosters have disappeared, the fire tag board is almost empty, no one is off station and of course the sun is coming up later and later each day: all signs that winter is coming.

Goodbye to our many friends who spent the summer period with us thank you for your hard work and great friendship. We wish you all the best and hope to see you again next summer (please bring some fresh fruit with you).
