Havergate will never look the same after storm Xaver, the flood it caused and the resulting damage to the infrastructure and hides on the island, which makes all the memories of this year's summer even more precious.Lesley Ribbens and her family have been amongst the fortunate ones who had the time of their lives on the island this summer, and you might have read the guest post written by her 8 year-old son Jacob which I published in September on this blog.She has told her version of the story for INVOLVE, the RSPB's volunteering newsletter for the South East Region Winter 2013 and has sent me a copy too.I thought such a lovely report is just what we all need within the pile of frustrating news about the upcoming massive repair works on the island, and therefore, please enjoy the two pages with her story, illustrated by Kevin Sawford's brilliant photos:
