Comments

Well this side of the low is delightful! We’re making excellent progress, and are well and truly “out of it” now, with only occasional open bands of ice and rubble in our path. Hard to believe really…
Our Davis winterers have settled in well, and are consuming everything that even vaguely looks like salad or fruit that appears before them.

All the best, Doug and Dave
