Just finished a book by a Frenchman called the Dark Room at  Longwood. Interesting read because the author visits St Helena and compares his experience with Napoleon’s last days at Longwood House. It even mentions the holes in the shutters at Longwood Farm where Napoleon used to look out from. I’ve stood and looked through those holes! It is now getting on for 14 years since I worked on the island. It was a wonderful to be in a place where history was so tangible you could touch it every time you moved. I still wonder if they play me reading  “Bill’s New Frock” on Radio St Helena! I would love to go back to the island on a Story Telling Tour!
