I'd been fascinated with the Falkland Islands from the time, in the early 80's when a British soldier's wife stayed with us in Germany, sewing up the slipcovers for our sofas (lucky me!)while her husband was deployed in the Falklands. It was a tense time that I remember well - I may have to blog about it.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-69187967207849057872013-02-16T00:21:11.057-05:002013-02-16T00:21:11.057-05:00What a stunning looking place!

The Falklands are growing in population with 250 new houses being built. Many people want the peace and serenity and "almost" no crime atmosphere here. Of course the Argentinians want it BUT HANDS OFF!!True Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01972903670692243157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-66631004005238357512013-02-15T14:25:40.958-05:002013-02-15T14:25:40.958-05:00It's amazing Mary, this very British outpost a...It's amazing Mary, this very British outpost at the bottom of the world.<br />I imagine some of the first settlers brought their lupin seeds with them from home.<br />I was wondering about the economy of the islands and Wikipedia enlightened me it's based on tourism and commercial fishing! <br />Nice to think that by travelling there Mary, you have helped the Falklands people to survive!<br />A great post and I love travelling with you to these far away places I would otherwise miss out on!!<br />hugs<br />Shane ♥<br /><br />Shane Pollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674612132049839026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-64726577217768477852013-02-15T13:50:54.983-05:002013-02-15T13:50:54.983-05:00Stunning beauty!
