One of our young people, Phoebe, who until December 24 attended our Weymouth youth group has moved to the Falkland Islands.
Phoebe wanted to keep in touch with the youth workers Jane and Charity that lead the Weymouth group and keep them updated with their adventures.
After a very gruelling 20-hour flight with a stop at Ascension Island they arrived in their new home, the Falkland Islands.
It is very windy there and about 11-16 degrees which is the summer! And like a typical British summer it rains on and off quite a bit!
Their coat is getting a lot of exercise as everything is very open and so no shelter from the wind! Though Phoebe is preparing for wintertime when it snows and can reach temperatures of -10!
As well as the very cold temperatures, prices for fresh fruit and veg are astronomical on the island, a quarter of a melon costing £4! However, meat and eggs are cheap as there is a lot of farming.
Phoebe has already had some adventures and seen some amazing wildlife as you can see from the pictures they have sent.
Phoebe is creating a portfolio of penguin artwork to sell in the gift shops on the island
Phoebe will keep Space updated of their island adventures by keeping in contact with Charity and Jane.
