Rachel returns to the UK today after an Astronomy Conference in Potsdam, near Berlin, Germany. At the conference she presented her work and it seemed to be received very well, since most other presentations were either too long, over-used, under-rehearsed or poorly presented. But then these people are astronomers- woollen jumpers, leaky jeans and T-shirt types! The conference ended with a candlelit dinner held in the impressive dome room of a recently restored telescope at the University of Potsdam.

Back in Chile, is completing some website work (for our church), organising a trip with his parents in October and expecting the arrival of some friends (the Jeffers’, who normally live in Antofagasta but have come south in search of some greenery!).

We have recently confirmed our “home leave” at Christmas and New Year and look forward to seeing you all back in chilly England and frosty Scotland at that time!
