Event Description
As she approached retirement, Sue Ablett knew there was only one way to treat herself, and that was a trip to Antarctica. Taking in the Falklands, and the legendary island of South Georgia, as well as the Antarctic Continent, this was a trip that had it all - breath-taking scenery, incredible wildlife, and tales of whaling, bravery and endurance. It really was a dream come true. If you can't quite imagine a beach with 200,000 pairs of penguins, then be prepared to be amazed!

Meet the Host, Sue
Sue Ablett is a great traveller, having visited all continents and loves talking about her trips. Her career included a mix of jobs, from Russian Linguist to Executive Director of a national children’s cancer charity, pulling in a PhD ‘just for fun’ along the way. Now retired she is Chair of Evesham Festival of Words, an avid litter picker, and, despite the advanced years, still a keen distance runner. She also enjoys cycling, dog walking, gardening and splits her life between Leicestershire and Evesham.
