I have been reading at you for a while...Hi Lindsey! I have been reading at you for a while and let me tell you you have a wonderful home. It's a shame what my country does to yours; here averybody is brainwashed saying that you all, the people of the Falkland Islands, are not native inhabitants and that you should "return" to the UK, and Latin America is pushing the UK more than usual. Hold on!<br /><br />I'm an argentine student and I've been researching on the Falklands Question since a year, of course understanding (as anyone who takes a moment to read History with a little of common sense and will of truth) the Falkland Islanders rights. The main reason of why I'm writing to you is that now I'm trying to get the following books, for a more understanding of the islanders life and History, combined with a personal liking of the old peasant way of life: "Bridget's Book: Memories of a Falklands Childhood" (by Bridget Blake), "Those Were the Days" (by John Smith) and "The Falkland Islands I Knew" (by Howell Evans). My problem is that I can't find any seller of this books. Any help will be very appreciated (perhaps there is a bookstore in Stanley?).

I am too tired to repeat it. I enjoyed you account of the party. There was a time that the French Community around here had such gatherings. Life was harder and more isolated back then.<br /><br />Was your relative an Acadian French Canadian. These were the French that settled in the Maritime region of Canada before the British showed up. The British wanted their successful farms and drove many out of Canada. Some managed to stay others returned. The Acadian French are different from the French in Quebec.<br />They speak a different dialect of French.Philiphttp://philiprobinson.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
