Winter Warden finishing first Task - but where is Elaine?

Jim and Elaine Lennon are our "Winter Wardens" and will be in residence at Cristin until the spring.  We will be hearing regularly from them over the winter about life on the island which will include things like..................................................  we will just have to wait and see.

However, this photo shows Jim putting the finishing paint coat to the renovated Solfach Hide so if Elaine finds he is missing when there's jobs to be done, she will know where he is - sitting in here watching the Chough and the Turnstones feeding in the seaweed.

I hope Jim takes some photos of Elaine for us to see.   And it would be wonderful during those dark winter nights, when the stars above are shining bright, if Jim can arrange for Steve Porter (the island's resident skyologist (astronomist) to take some photos (he has now had the training) of some interesting aspects of the "sky at night on Bardsey".   Steve has an astronomical telescope mounted in his "Observatory" so both Jim and Steve can do a disappearing act in the evenings.   Yes, we now have two OBSERVATORIES on the island now.
