 Well the plane landed safely and on time at LHR and Missus had a wheelchair from the plane and the electric buggy booked to baggage retrieval. Master and Morgan had to walk there. Passport control went smoothly and on to baggage control. We were amazed, Master and Morgan had got through Passport control and had collected all the luggage by the time we got there. Then we had to go through the green lane at customs and didn't get stopped. So through into the arrivals hall and to find the driver who is taking us home. We couldn't see anyone with a card with our name on, Master had a telephone number and rang it. The driver answered but it was difficult to see who was talking to us, as there were several of the drivers on their phones at the same time. However we did find him eventually and he had a placard with the Masters name on it. Then it seemed as though the car was parked a long way away in the carpark. Still we got loaded into the car and the driver set off for Brandon. I ...

08.09.2023 Recycling Competition and Huskies

Image
 Today we will be able to view the recycling competition and cast our votes. The various departments on board have to make something from recycled materials. The items will be available for the passengers to view and vote on this lunchtime. There were four entries, a cardboard Muskox scull, a cleverly made Christmas scene of a Polar Bear with a Christmas tree, a working electric lamp and a large whale that wobbled! We liked the whale so the Missus and I voted for it. It will be a couple of days before we find out who won. There was a very interesting talk this afternoon by Elsa. She gave a talk about sled dogs, and a bit about the history of dogs in general. Experts are still not completely sure when dogs did actually split from wolves, and form a relationship with humans. A wolf-dog was found buried with 2 humans in a grave dated to 14,000 years ago. North American peoples used dogs as pack animals at least 11,000 years ago. The evidence for this can be seen in the spines as they ...

09/09/2023 At sea. and Red Bay Labrador

Image
 Master is finding his pills very useful, as the sea is definitely more active now. We are heading across the Labrador Sea towards to Red Bay, Labrador. Most of this day is at sea. We don't get to Red Bay till this afternoon. So we decided to listen to Brendan's Talk about 'Seeking a safe haven' this was about Seabirds and their colonies. Brendan's talk did not disappoint. Seabirds form mixed species colonies, as  doing this can help each other with different strategies for spotting predators. It is interesting to note that there is an abundance of food in both the Artic and Antarctic for these birds. But there is a greater number of birds species in the Antarctic than the Artic. On islands in the Southern Ocean, where Wandering Albatross breed, they are gradually speciating and changing, because they always go back to the island where they hatched, to breed when mature. Some birds such as Storm Petrels nest under ground and one bird stays on the nest all day while ...
