Sunday 3rd November, 3pm at James Allen's Girls' School


Lindsay McCrae is an award-winning cameraman. His career has really taken off, culminating in the TV documentary Dynasties about emperor penguins, narrated by Sir David Attenborough and watched by eight million people in November 2018.


Lindsay spent an extraordinary year in the Antarctic living alongside the most resilient creatures in nature. He endured unimaginable weather conditions and witnessed behaviour new to science, all the while living isolated on an Antarctic ice shelf for an entire winter that lasts eight months. And finally, how could anyone forget the intervention he and the crew took to save the penguins from death in the storm?


'My Penguin Year' is Lindsay?s story and the culmination of a childhood dream. An event for all the family, Lindsay will be discussing his extraordinary journey and sharing some stories and photographs of his expedition to film the incredible emperor penguins ? from a frost bitten nose to near impossible journeys across a harsh landscape, and being over 15,000 km from home with no way back for a whole year. This event is suitable for the whole family - budding cameramen and camerawomen welcome!


Copies of Lindsay's book will be available to purchase before and after the event and Lindsay will be signing books after the event.


Tickets ?10, Under 18s ?8.


Presented by Village Books and hosted at James Allen's Girl's School.

      Damp cellar floor is it a problem

      By alice · Posted

      When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked.

      Damp cellar floor is it a problem

      By Bumpkin · Posted

      We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
