On the beach facing the ocean
I've just found these old and long-forgotten black-and-white photos of a trip with Brian Herde to Yule Island. I've put them up on the Yule Island facebook page. Some people may recognise themselves or someone else from forty-five years ago and get a kick out of it.
One of the sons belonging to the expat fisherman. Yours truly on the right
Yours truly waiting for his lift back to the mainland
Our mode of transport
Returning by lakatoi to the mainland
At the fisherman's family's house

We had put up our little tent inside the disused tennis court. Next morning we found ourselves surrounded by a bunch of youngsters who belonged to an expat fisherman's family living up on the hill
Brian Herde would be ninety years old this year. Where is he now?
