It was surreal visiting Bluff Cove. It had been the scene of a battle during the Falklands war. Troops had stormed on to that beach. It was hard to imagine. A desolate sandy shore, penguins, orange lichen, big rollers and a little cafe – was this the scene of bullets and bombs?
Shows how stupid and nuts we humans are.
What a beautiful place! 🙂
Yes, it was very beautiful. It had a desolate charm.
I hope you have/had a good day! 🙂
I’ll do my best Flora. I’m hoping to get stuck into editing!
Hope its fun!
Fulfilling (if it goes well) rather than fun. Enjoy your day Flora.
You too! 🙂

Shows how stupid and nuts the political system is, under which we are forced to live. Along with those that run it, of course.
We vote these nutcases in – they reflect the attitude of the idiots that elect them.
Well, I didn’t vote them in, Opher. I haven’t voted in a general election since 1987. I would have voted last year for the (ex) Brexit candidate if he had stood as an Independent, but he chose not to.
So you allow the brainwashed morons to win the day?
And you still think Brexit was a good idea? To put an extreme bunch of Eton toffs in charge and bankrupt the country?
My god, what great beauty. Perhaps unsurprisingly my brother in law views the place in a different light. Hard to imagine such savagery there as you say. I would love to visit.
It was a place of great beauty Anthony – though, talking to the locals, we did catch it in a fine spell of weather and it is more often overcast and extremely blustery. I can imagine your brother-in-law would see it differently. I’m not sure anyone would be noticing the aesthetics with explosions all around and bullets zinging past your ears.
It’s well worth a visit.
Yes, I gather the weather is mostly atrocious. Well done you for making the trip though – I can’t believe it was an easy one. Or a cheap one!
It was quite reasonably priced. A small company that did budget trips in small, old ships – but still quality! A bit rough at times but spectacular. Unfortunately, they have gone out of business!
Wow! By ship! My brother in law went on the QE2 back in the early 80’s. Apparently they had left all the champagne and drinks on board although the accommodation had been stripped down to basics. More recently he went back for a re-union on a very basic army flight.
It must have been very scary with all those exocet missiles! I bet the reunion had a different feel to it!
