Giving up watering plants

You have to keep the worms happy Schizolocal.

What is it like on St Helena Schizo? Is it very dry there?

Normally (and I use this word with reservation in today's climatic chaos :-), we get relatively dry summers with the occasional shower, and a cooler (though not cold) rainy season - we can't really call them winters in the sense of the UK weather. Recently, we've had more rain than usual, though not enough to cause damage. We did have such a heavy downpour 18 months ago which swelled streams so much that our printing factory was flooded and a couple of small wooden bridges were washed away. The wind usually causes more damage.

Sounds lovely. I used to know someone who went regularly to Tristan....it looks very similar.

I have never been to Tristan da Cunha. it is arguably more isolated than St.Helena and is inhabited by only a few hundred people (340 was it). I suspect that it would be too cold for me in winter and too small in summer, but mine is not the only opinion in the universe, and I will gladly accept other's preferences.

That said, I think you'll have to come to St.Helena to find out how stunningly beautiful but totally uncommercial it is. Give me a buzz if you need help :-)

Ah, bless you Schizo.....too far for me I think. Mind you, my OH is planning a trip to Thailand for his 50th and I suppose he'll expect me to go as well.........lol ;)
