The group made it to the top of the mountain safely, and trekked another half an hour down to the base camp in Annapurna, a place shielded from the elements. They have paid for pitched tents and have set up a camp fire, with some food roasting. Heyem sits by the fire, next to Alex, who is unusually quiet.

Nice to see the sisters really getting along together. Wonderful character development.
Thanks, Lee, yes Heyem and Alex getting on is a rare occurrence.
Lovely issue, Cheryl. Real closeness. I agree with Lee. And the drawings are a great counterpoint to the text. Hope you’re having a good week.
Hi Richard, thank you and you too. I need to do some catching up. Apologies for my absence (day job is sucking the life out of me) aaanyway, I have some time this weekend, so will be over to your site to check out your portraits. Glad you like this issue. I’m enjoying spending quality time with the twins, especially since they’re getting along so well at the moment!
