Mar 8:  Nick Loves Selfies

Nick the Bookman loves to get his picture taken with Lamma visitors, asking for the pictures to be mailed to his Gmail address - nick.bookman@gmail.com - which forwards to me as he's completely offline.

Occasionally, I can't resist playing with these often pretty unusual photos, see this original photo from Katrina.
I occasionally also publish them on social media and my Lamma-zine and keep them in my Nick archive.

Mar 7:  Remembering DickStock

These are all the DickStock festival logos, most of them created and illustrated by Harry Harrison (Did I miss a logo of any year?) 

32 years of Dickstock Festivals (with a few gap years)!

Originally started in Mr. Dickstock's garden, this almost yearly music festival has been held in various locations over the years. Last year in the 80 Restaurant (firmerly Andy's Seafood) opposite Power Station beach!

80 Restaurant has become the sole venue for DickStock-inspired spinoff festivals:

Mar 4:  Fog-Horns of Passing Ships

"Spring days on the south China coast brought the seasonal fogs — which shrouded the world in mystery and enveloped the island with cottony silence, except for the fog-horns of passing ships."

Mar 1:  Marine Debris Warriors

"To the Tung O Wan Beach Cleanup Volunteer Team:

On behalf of the villagers of Tung O Wan, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you! Over the years, rain or shine, you have come to Tung O Wan Beach time and again, using your own hands to pick up the rubbish (Marine Debris) that doesn't belong to the sea, allowing this beach to remain clean and beautiful.

As a villager who sees Tung O Wan every day, I truly feel the positive change your efforts have brought to our beach. Every time I walk past the clean sand, I feel warmth and gratitude in my heart.

This recent event, in particular, filled me with joy and emotion because I saw so many young people participating! Even more heartening was seeing many parents bringing their children along to join the activity.
Watching parents and children bend down together to pick up litter (Marine Debris), laughing and discussing how to protect the ocean, was truly touching.

You're not just doing it for yourselves; through your actions and by example, you are teaching the next generation that caring for our Earth, cherishing our local place, and protecting nature is a natural and incredibly important thing.

For the children, having this hands-on experience from a young age means they will surely remember it and will continue to pass on this spirit in the future.

Special thanks must go to the two main organisers of this event – Miss Yau and Mr Derek See. Your thoughtful planning of this "Beach Cleanup Activity," from promotion and preparing the tools to leading the team on-site, was all done with great organization and care. Your enthusiasm and dedication have truly inspired so many people.

Once again, thank you sincerely to every single volunteer – whether you are a long-time, steadfast "old comrade" or a young friend, child, or family participating for the first time. Every time you bend down, every piece of rubbish you pick up, is a genuine act of love for Lamma Island and for the sea.

I hope everyone will continue their great work, and I look forward to seeing you all again!

Respectfully, Mike Chau, Villager of Tung O Wan, Lamma Island"
