Flo had recently returned from her very own Antarctic adventure. She and a group of 3 others made the, sometimes treacherous and long, journey to the South pole. Here she worked as a Post Mistress in the Antarctic's very own Post Office whilst spending time repairing and maintaining the buildings on the Banana Belt. She retold her stories of up close (sometimes too close) and incredible visits from the Gentoo, Adelie and Chinstrap penguins. She shared some very special photos.
She was a fascinating and very kind lady with some amazing stories to tell. She was very inspirational (particularly to some of our Year 6 girls) and we look forward to some possible correspondence if and when she makes the return trip to the pole.
