I’M excited to arrive in post as Deputy Editor of our newspaper. Ours because the Penguin News has always been present in my household, likely in the same way that it’s been present in yours – either since childhood if you have been here since your youth, or hopefully at least since you’ve moved to the Falklands if you’ve more recently set foot here. As such I want us to get properly introduced before I get onto diving more deeply into personal thoughts and feelings in future editorials.

IF nothing else lifted my heart this week (and generally lots of things lift my heart in the Falklands) the sight of the words ‘orthodontic service’ had me dancing a jig.

SOME words from former PN Editor John Fowler now living in France

PLEASING news from the GCSE students last week, who seem to have done themselves proud. 96 percent attained enough points to study overseas.

INEVITABLY, perhaps, I arrive at my last editorial taking stock of my time at Penguin News. I say my time here, but it has at times felt not so much like I’ve passed through Penguin News, but that it has passed through me like a horde of marauding Mongolian plainsmen.

EVERY now and then while trawling through the online newspapers in the Jane Cameron National Archives (and if you haven’t checked them out yet you definitely should) an absolute gem pops up.
