Midwinter gave us the break we all needed. Usually celebrated on the third week of June during winter solstice, however after the medivac was successfully completed we celebrated during the last week of June.
We started off our first weekend with a well needed rave!
Throughout the week we also had the JCB challenge.. to get a tennis ball into the holes the fastest! So much concentration!
We also had winter Olympics which included tug of war and various other hilarious antics
We started off our day of celebration our midwinters day with bacon sandwiches and champagne!! It started well. As is Antarctic tradition we each had a secret santa style presents!
At the start of winter we drew names out of a hat and since then we made a present for that person. There were lots of creative idea using the tech service guys for help in the chippy shed and the garage.
I had a lovely painting given to me by Callum our comms manager - will look great on my wall at home!

I spent many hours in the chippy shed learning how to biscuit, use a chop and bansaw...it was so much fun! I made Kate a model version of Rothera!

After watching the 'thing' as per tradition we got glammed up and then sat down for a massive meal! Lewis our chef did such an amazing job....look how many courses we had!
