A Note from Gillian... introducing this Website and Blog
The Website and blog were originally created in 2011 when I first went to St Helena. It was such a remote and unique destination that I felt that my travels should be documented. This was also a way to keep family and friends up to date with happenings.
Over time the blog gained popularity and started to regularly attract 2000 views per week, documenting such an important time in St Helena's history. Please let me know via the contact form if you have any subjects you would like me to cover or if you have any feedback for me. Please also contact me if you are interested in talking about your catering needs or support for your business. Always happy to help!
