Hearty congratulations and commiserations to all concerned!
Even if you don’t see the name of your loved one or friend here, you can rest assured that they too performed very well and you can be proud of them.
By way of a final few words, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading this blog over the past three months as much as I’ve enjoyed writing and editing it. I’d like to express my thanks to all the Venturers and PMs who’ve contributed.
And thanks very much to you, dear friends and relatives, for the comments you’ve posted. I know how much the Venturers and PMs have looked forward to, and enjoyed, reading your comments and words of encouragement.
So, other than brief travel updates over the next few days, to quote the words of not Shakespeare nor Winston Churchill, but Bugs Bunny:
That’s all, folks!
Best wishes for the festive season and 2013.
Graham Wilson
Expedition 12J Communications Officer
