With the end of the season drawing to a close the last week of guests staying at the observatory and Steve and Emma's wedding anniversary things were falling into place a well deserved party! But for party time to ensue the gift shop needed clearing of all the stock.
Trustees form an orderly rabble to get the job done in double quick time!
Gift shop items are squirreled away into plastic containers to stop the damp and those pesky mice getting too them.
And que party decorations prep!
Including our blue peter style mirrorball, John Noakes would be proud.
Bringing back ice-gems in a big way! And those little disk shape biscuits with icing on that I can't remember the name of, YEY!!!
With the part over (ask Steve for embarrassing pictures) and the last week of guests departed, it was time to clear out the observatory, give it a quick once over and store away all valuables.
Good old Mr Muscle
Most important job being done :)
Steve at it with the chemicals again
Creating furniture mountain.....
One big furniture hug, even the carpets joining in
Manly tears were shed when leaving the island
Well thats it really, its been a great year for the observatory and for me in a lot of ways!! Hope you've enjoyed reading a little bit about what we get up to here at the bird observatory on Bardsey Island. Its a fantastic place to work and visit, I can't recommend it and speak highly of it enough!!
