He was a bit more settled now as he was learning where all the places were. There were all kinds of nooks and crannies and caves and things like that but he had step just basically right outside of the ashford arms while he waited on Xanthe. Xanthe Wingard |

Xanthe was feeling settled as well. She’d been doing her night show for a couple of weeks now and Derek was still here. Radio felt very different to what they’d done together but at least she got the weekends off. So knowing she’d time with Derek she exited to see him. “So what’s today’s plan” she cheerfully posed.

"Well as much as I was going to die into some books and see what was going on I figure a little more real life hands on exploring should be on the docket since I still know little but want to know more." Xanthe Wingard |

“I could show you one of the fishing villages. They are as old as the old town is as I think they got established round the same time. They’re west, east and south of the city on the coasts. You’d see interesting sights that tourists don’t know exist” Xanthe suggested. Some did find their way there because of organised tours and you could go by boat and car. Derek Tenpenny |

"Okay that will work for me." He thought it might just be it's own little community out in the trenches in a way which he found to be good and not bad. "It's actually a good feeling to know that people can make their own villages here." Xanthe Wingard |

“There’s also newer villages who are finding their own way but these ones will have history and stories of their own. It’ll be like the old times without the running away and the Scooby Doo things” Xanthe confirmed. A nice simple trip a single camera could document and they could work on this during downtime. “So we might have a video at the end of it that could get you noticed”. Xanthe wouldn’t mind if he got the credit as she was already a radio presenter. “Do you want to go south, west or east?” she posed. “We could even take a boat”. Derek Tenpenny |

There was still so much here but he was learning to take it slow. "I think we should go east but after we get on a boat. At least that way we can see what is on the water and not get caught up in anything wild." He was hopeful but he had only been here a few weeks. Xanthe Wingard |

“That should work” Xanthe replied. Then asked “did you get your video camera here yet?” With that in place they could make their video and chronicle life in the eastern village. She’d been there before but only had a look round with a few questions being asked. Now they could do a proper job. Derek Tenpenny |

"Should arrive tomorrow but I brought two phones. I know they won't hold as much as my camera but it is better than us not having anything right?" Xanthe Wingard |

Phones would do a job for now. “If you’ve a charged power bank each for them that would work. I still have my laptop and you can download our footage to that. I doubt you’ll need a script given it’s a walk about video that will show others outside this island what normal life is like” she replied. She’d still let him do the talking if he wanted to do that. Derek was the best with the camera but she could handle one as well. Derek Tenpenny |

"I can grab the power banks. I expressed everything of mine to come here so I am hoping it arrives without any delays." It was not that he had not experienced delays before but his equipment was very important to him. Xanthe Wingard |

"We do have something we can film with. That's a good start" Xanthe replied with a smile. You always had delays of some sort but this was the age of when anybody with sufficent motivation and basic equipment could make a movie or in this case a visual record. The camera Derek would prefer to use was successor to the hand held super 8 cameras. Technology always improved but you had to have the drive to be creative before you had anything. As it was still early enough in the day there was plenty of time to get there and get what material they needed. Derek Tenpenny |

"I will have everything sorted out soon because it drives me up the wall not too." His patience was always being tested but he was not letting that stop him. "So I know that you have not been here as long as me but do you think this place is as safe as it seems. I mean there are literal burning places here but thankfully nothing has caught fire yet."

“No where is as safe as it looks. I do know of a volcano, locations that aren’t on maps and there’s plenty we don’t know. However we can look round the old town till your camera arrives. There’s a Catholic Church dating from that period of time that should be worth checking out” Xanthe suggested. A start as you could always go digging elsewhere till you started the main project.

He shook his head as he listened. "What about the foundation this place is built on, have you been able to find anything out about it? I have not had the chance to look myself but I am curious what it was before though I guess at the end of the day it could have been nothing but dirt." Xanthe Wingard |
