Fat and fabulous!
​Hello friends and family
Today marks 18 years that I have been living here at the lighthouse. When I came I expected it to be difficult and it has been, but the actual challenges are not those that I expected. The wildlife here is simply stunning. Each day brings its own rewards and I feel privileged to share this place with such amazing creatures.

Every feather gets checked
​I hope Easter brought you a diversion from the ongoing Covid-19 disaster. I was able to have virtual meetings with the family so that was a bonus. We are all challenged by the need to keep active and I am reminded how lucky I am to have the coast to walk.

​I had my weekly trip to the supermarket on Sunday so I could go to the tip at the same time. This week my extra rubbish was broken plant protectors. Next week I might dump all the old hoses. On Tuesday the team came, and we checked the traps and released Mrs 139. This leaves me with only 2 penguins in care, so I am not even putting on overalls as they both feed nicely and I do not have to worry about getting covered in fish or poop. It was also time to put the winter duvet on the bed as a cold southerly blast dropped the temperatures below 10 degrees.

​The team is very intrepid and did the rounds on Thursday and Saturday. Things are quiet in the colonies. We have seen a couple of stoats here by the house but have not caught them yet!
